This COMPLETE ART ENVIRONMENT in Johannesburg started in April 2000. Under one roof you have an art gallery, art classes, art lessons and art workshops, besides art materials and framing facilities available.
Over the years we have had exhibitions with Louis Audie; Paul Botes; Angela Eidelman; Bill Hart; Eugene Hurter; Moira Mac Murray; Ina Millman; Colin Nockels; Mike Parsons; Janina Pechova; Pamela Prendini and Dulcie Robinson.
To quote owner/entrepreneur, Moira Silcock, “the idea has been to aid the public whether it is to find the right painting for the office or home, or find a gift; help the artist display their work; help the budding artist with classes or art materials, or simply provide a pleasant ambience for artists to meet over a cup of tea. The key note has been quality at affordable prices.”
She goes on to say “… to still be operating ten years later must prove we are meeting a need!”
Having opened our doors in May 2000, we have decided to retire at the end of 2013. We will continue to hold art classes and workshops during 2013. Four exciting exhibitions will be held starting in July. From January to June the Gallery will be used to show off paintings, prints and art materials for sale. Various equipment will also be on sale.
We thank all our artists and visitors for their support over the years. It has been a pleasure getting to know you all!
