Scores of artists, parents and art-lovers gathered at Thapong Visual Arts Centre last Friday to witness the opening of a two-week exhibition by 37 students from three top private schools in Gaborone.

The participating schools are Westwood, Rainbow and Maruapula. Students in the performing arts from the three schools spiced up the opening evening with drama and music.

The organisers of the exhibition say it is a show of selected works bearing testimony to the high expectations of the art departments of the three schools. They say the experimental nature of many of the work has a significant effect on the show, which is both a glorious visual experience and an influential and interesting body of works for any artist. One of the outstanding artists among the students is Berlene Loubser whose Pitsa, Leso Le Lefetlho, Ntlo, Mantlo a Setswana, Wind Pompe and Op die Plaas would rival works of a professional. Loubser's artworks are ready to be mounted because they are already framed.
