Mirjam Asmal, Director of the Association of Visual Arts (AVA) Gallery, walks us through what’s happening at the gallery and beyond!
Listen to the Sanlam Arts Round Up on Fine Music Radio FMR 101.3fm every Friday at 16h15
Miriam explains, how under COVID conditions, the AVA needed to change pace and directions. One result has been the different kinds of exhibitions with the emphasis on curated shows to realign art and artists to the new world we are living in. The background to these changes is both interesting and relevant.
The four current exhibitions covered by Mirjam are:
Main Gallery

Long Gallery
Dark: Sinead Mason, Megan Fritz and Anton Birkenmayer
Mezzanine
Time is a Broken Umbrella
