//+27


I figured since most of the contributors and many other people who might be following up on city slickers aren't familiar with the PTA exhibition space, it'd be nice to share a bit about the space.


Here are some photos that were taken by my ulta-super-mad talented friends from welovepictures (check them out here).These pics were taken at the awesome gig poster exhibition of Andre Pereira (check him out here), which recently took place at +27.

WELCOME TO //CITY SLICKERS.



City Slickers is the name of the upcoming exhibition taking place in Pretoria at +27 gallery on the 13th of August, traveling to Durban at the end of October.The aim of the exhibition is to make people aware of the incredible illustration/design talent we have in South Africa, as well as exposing some great international talents, from across our borders.

The approach of the exhibition is one of a light-hearted nature, geared towards making art for everyone to enjoy.The works thus explore the theme "city" in a new manner, translating each artists perception onto an A3 print, which will each be sold in an edition of 3.
