Real 'heart and soul' exhibition on display

GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - The exhibition Coming Home the return of the Cape Vulture to the Karoo - opened at Imibala Gallery on Friday evening 21 May.

This exhibition is a collaboration between Imibala Gallery, the Karoo Vulture Safe Zone Project and the Endangered Wildlife Trust.

Willem Wagenaar, Chairman of the Karoo Vulture Safe Zone Project Committee, and Dr Gareth Tate of the Endangered Wildlife Trust were the guest speakers.

Imibala’s artists have poured their hearts into their artwork to create awareness of the serious plight of this beautiful, endangered bird.

Delicious snacks served were up to the Drostdy Hotel’s impeccable standard and guests enjoyed Protea Merlot and Protea Sauvignon Blanc from De Camdeboo WijnKamer.

This exhibition of real "heart and soul" will run until 31 August.

Annette and Christiaan Theron were quite impressed with the art on display.
