You are cordially invited to attend the opening of
PASSION, PATRONAGE & THE PUBLIC: 1975 - 2025
AN EXHIBITION CELEBRATING FIFTY YEARS OF THE FRIENDS’ SUPPORT OF ARTWORK ACQUISITION FOR THE ART MUSEUM COLLECTION
To celebrate 50 years of supporting the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, the Friends of the Art Museum are hosting a jubilee exhibition entitled 'Passion, Patronage and the Public: 1975–2025.
The exhibition launches on Saturday 1 November at 10:30am for 11:00am at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum at 1 Park Drive, Central.
The exhibition reflects the important role that the Friends of the Art Museum have played in supporting the acquisition of artworks for the permanent collection of the Art Museum.
In 1975, the Friends of the Art Museum (formerly the King George VI Association) was founded by like-minded members of the art community who recognised that the Art Museum needed additional funding to ensure the growth of the permanent collection.
On display in the exhibition will be a selection of works that the Friends has purchased and donated to the Art Museum.
Walkabouts and special events will be arranged in conjunction with the Friends exhibition.
