Quizzed on the background behind the showcase’s title “Art in the Garden” Ncube said variety is the spice of life.
“The idea is to be in a garden with lots of fresh air and relation with nature. Imagine yourself enjoying a cuppa, wine, and snacks as this exhibition is being held in a Cafe garden setup,” he said.
“It brings in a different environment, with different artworks and good natural lighting.”
Ncube added: “Well it’s always good to exhibit works of art at any given time. This came as an opportunity to showcase our works of art and obviously has to be utilised.”
