On Sunday, 30 November 2014, Cultural Affairs and Sport MEC, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, will be announcing the winner of the Public Art Competition.
As part of the celebration of 20 years of democracy, the Western Cape Government launched a Public Art Competition inviting artists to submit their design proposals for an artwork installation that will be placed on permanent display outside, in the Long Street pedestrian route on the corner of Long and Dorp Streets.
The site marks a new pedestrian plaza on lower Dorp Street. Artists were requested to integrate the theme “20 Years of Freedom and Democracy" incorporating the World Design Capital 2014 "Live Design, Transform Life” into their designs.
MEC Mbombo will be joined by members of the judging panel and the winner of the competition. Members of the media will get an opportunity to walk over to the site where this artwork will be erected with the MEC, the artist and the judging panel.
There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.
