Absa Opens A New Art Gallery In Johannesburg
Absa Opens A New Art Gallery In Johannesburg. Absa, a leading financial services provider in Africa, opened a new art gallery. Located at the Absa Head Office precinct, piazza of Towers Main in Johannesburg central business district, the Absa Art Gallery officially opened its doors with the first exhibition titled ‘Voices: Past and Present’.
Voices: Past and Present comprises artworks recently exhibited at the 2022 Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK). The theme merges the often-unheard voices of young talented South African aritists with a selection of renowned masters from Absa’s corporate collection.
“We are thrilled to open a brand new gallery, which gives us the opportunity to continue supporting and showcasing great work by artists from around the continent. The Voices: Past and Present exhibition allows everyone the opportunity to view the wonderful art pieces that were showcased at KKNK. In addition, we are excited to finally open our doors to those who would like to visit the Absa Gallery from June,” said Dr Paul Bayliss, Senior Specialist Art Curator at Absa Group in a statement.
While the opening of the new art gallery allows artists to showcase their work virtually, art lovers can visit the Absa Gallery in person from 1 June 2022 and witness the incredible pieces and work created by various artists.
