Walkabout to view forty years of plenty

Over the past four decades, Friends of the South African National Gallery (FONG) have offered tangible support to the Gallery, not only by presenting exciting works of contemporary local art  but also in contributing toward a broad and representative national collection.

On Sunday 3 August at 11:00, Iziko art curators, Hayden Proud and Joe Dolby, conduct a  walkabout of the Friends’ commemorative exhibition ‘Forty years of Friendship’ which  showcases a selection of these artworks.

Hosted by Friends, the event costs R30 for Friends and R50 for guests. Enquiries to Lizzie on 021 467 4660/2 (Tue-Thu 10:00-14:00). The exhibition runs until 28 September and can be viewed daily from 10:00-17:00, except Mondays.
