Co-owner, art teacher, and artist Adele Jansen van Rensburg said, on the day, they welcomed guests and artists to see a display of mixed art pieces, ranging from sketches to oil paints, which depicted still life's, landscapes, and everything in between.
Weeks, and sometimes months, were put into creating and perfecting these art pieces, some of which were up for sale, while others opted not to sell, as they were still sentimental about their art.
'Letting go is also part of the process, and over time artists learn the self confidence to do that,' said Jansen van Rensburg. The artist has created a lot of art through the years, which she has learned not to hold on to. She thinks letting it go will allow for her art to make someone else happy in their home.
Jansen van Renseburg said it takes bravery for artists to showcase their art. 'In the beginning, it is scary. Then you get to the exhibit and see all the beauty your hard work has produced, and you become happy.'
Two exhibitions take place each year, one for the children, towards the end of the year, and the adults exhibition in winter.

Tearful Glen Gabela pleads for help as fridge lies empty
Former Uzalo actor Glen Gabela has become the latest South African star to appeal for donations after falling on hard times. Gabela, who portrayed Pastor Mdletshe on the popular SABC1 soapie, shared a heartfelt plea in a video circulating on social media. In the emotional clip, Glen tearfully asks for assistance, showing his nearly empty fridge, which contains nothing but containers of water. 'I want a decent life, to be treated with dignity like every normal person. That's why I am reaching out. I'm trying to engage with people because I want to grow the film industry, so that young and upcoming performers don't end up like us,' he said 'You listen to the stories of top actors when they pass [away], you listen to the stories told and how they struggled. Almost all of us, when we reach this age, reach a stage where we … it's a pity I am not able to ask for help. It's hard for me to ask for help. That's all I need, just to live decently, I don't need to be rich, I just need to live a decent life,' he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sannah Mcunu (@sanamchunu7) Another star who recently spoke out about her financial challenges is veteran actress Nandi Nyembe. The 55-year-old bravely opened up in an emotional video shared by Masingita Masunga from the Above Normal Foundation. In the video, Nandi shared that she has faced financial struggles, particularly after paying R88,000 for her son's medical care. 'From the money I've worked for, my son got sick. I don't have money. How are you going to get medical aid when you don't have money? I tried to get a company that's a bit cheaper. What are you going to pay it with every month?' Some artists who have previously come out to plead for help due to financial difficulties include Pebetsi Matlaila, Dr Malinga, Zahara, Brenda Ngxoli, Carla Radebe, and Vusi Thanda.
