With themes such as “New beginnings”, “Scars in society” and “Danger and security”, Gr. 12 students at the Kimberley Art Centre (KAC) portrayed their view on the world at the annual Matric Art Exhibition at the William Humphreys Art Gallery.

At the opening on 11 October, Anthea Abrahams, deputy director of the Northern Cape Department of Education, thanked Anelle Liebenberg of the KAC for her energetic spirit at the centre.

She said art was a platform for children to learn to trust their ideas and themselves, and to explore what is possible.

Liebenberg said each work needed to be discovered differently, and each held a hidden message.
