A weekend of art from around the country in Marloth Park
Artists from all corners of South Africa visited Marloth Park to exhibit some of their pieces.
Some of the top artists from around the country exhibited their stunning works at the Kruger Safari Eco Lodge from Friday to Sunday, March 29 to 31.
Organised by Zonica Spies, Noelene Linaker and the owner of the lodge, Petrus Carstens, the exhibition featured the works of 11 artists from Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape and Johannesburg. It also saw two art dealers come to show off some pieces.
Spies said the art was set up in all the rooms of the lodge, and the visitors were able to walk through and view the different pieces, ranging from paintings to ceramics, throughout the weekend.
