Vuleka Art Competition

presented by the Arts Association of Bellville (art.b) in collaboration with SANLAM 

 

Vuleka is the Xhosa word for ‘open’ and that means this prestigious national art competition is open to any artist (18 years and older) who has not had a solo exhibition in the past three years.  It is aimed at encouraging creativity, innovation and adventurous art from all cultures. 

Artists may enter unlimited artworks in any of three categories:

 

·         Paintings in oil, water colour or acrylic;

·         Three-dimensional works; ceramics included, and

·         Works in any other medium, including photography.

 

Apart from a winner in each of these categories, the best artwork overall will be selected.

For the overall winner a cheque of R10 000 and a FREE return flight ticket to Paris are waiting.  The visit to Paris offers the winner the opportunity to gain new inspiration in the arts and broaden his/her horizons.  Prize money of R5 000 is at stake for each category winner.
