Art school celebrates in fine style
CFAD will host their exciting graduation ceremony which is three events rolled into an evening which includes their graduation dinner, a fun and fabulous fashion extravaganza, and the Too Little Too Late Awards Ceremony this Friday evening at the old airport.
THE CFAD (Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design), Durban’s innovative art school, will host its annual graduation dinner, fashion extravaganza and TLTL Awards ceremony at the Old Durban Airport on Friday, 28 October.
A highlight of the evening is the institution’s acknowledgment of unsung heroes instrumental in weaving the complex fabric of our community. “The TLTL – Too Little Too Late – awards are given annually to individuals who contribute unselfishly to the community without the recognition they deserve. It is through their work people are able to break the silence,” said CFAD founder Dr Nanda Soobben.
This year the TLTL awards will be going to South Coast community campaigner Rev Danny Chetty and the City’s Eric Apelgren – Head of International and Governance Relations.
The formality of the institution’s graduation and awards ceremony is a counterpoint to the fun, fantastical and frivolous organic fashions created by undergrad design students that address the challenges of waste with a focus on recycling. The theme for this year's design is Superheroes and Villains.
“The fashion design project started in 2000 and is an opportunity to stretch the creativity of the graphic design students and to explore a unique solution to the age-old problem of pollution,” said CFAD lecturer, Tamlyn Martin.
The Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design (CFAD) is a tertiary institution that offers training in fine art, animation (2D and 3D) and graphic design.
CFAD operates from Smart Exchange in the heart of the City. It was established in 1994 by world-renowned cartoonist, illustrator and journalist Dr Nanda Soobben.
