THE Eastern Cape’s emerging creatives are offered an opportunity to showcase their artworks as the ArtEC Community Art Centre in Port Elizabeth, which has joined hands with PPC Imaginaruim Awards for the first time.
The exhibition will run until the 10th of February in Port Elizabeth.
The PPC Imaginarium Awards is an art and design competition in which emerging artists and designers are challenged to demonstrate their innovative skills by incorporating the medium of concrete into their respective disciplines.
It’s been three years since the competition started and the 2017 first prize is R500 000. The finalists also get an opportunity to exhibit their works at a number of auspicious galleries and major events – such as the Turbine Art Fair and 100% Design South Africa – as part of its annual travelling exhibition. The competition will also include other emerging artists from Bloemfontein, Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria. This is a great opportunity for the emerging creatives in the Eastern Cape to showcase their talent and put the province on the map.
