Leading auctioneers, Stephan Welz & Co are sponsoring their Constantia, Cape Town venue, for the viewing exhibition, the auction evening and their well known and established auctioneers to participate in the South African Centre for Photography’s fundraiser on 20th June.
On view are 37 commanding photographs donated by respected members of the South African and international photography community to raise funds for the South African Centre for Photography, founded in 1998. The Centre promotes the profound and changing medium of photography through interesting and often unusual enterprises. The range of initiatives and projects on offer includes visual literacy and outreach programs; dynamic workshops, masterclasses and collaborations; exhibitions and the Cape Town Month of Photography Festival which has recently upgraded to a biannual event. The festival, a prominent feature in the arts and culture schedule, is dependent upon initiatives such as the auction, to create the budget with which to present a variety of activities and platforms to connect, inspire and showcase established, upcoming and newer photographers.
The next Month of Photography, MOP6, is set to showcase during Cape Town’s reign as Design Capital of the World, 2014. Link for the theme and details for submission to the festival. Submissions will close in November 2013 in order to have more set-up time and publish the Festival book way before the festival begins.
The NOBLE-PHOTO AUCTION – 6pm JUNE 20th 2013 at Stephan Welz & Co. Alphen Estate, Alphen Drive, Constantia.
Viewing: 20th June 10am – 2pm
