The exhibition follows Ketshotseng's recent walk from Lobatse to Gaborone which was also part of his mission to raise funds for BCD. With this exhibition, Ketshotseng has gone all out by exhibiting 30 large, intriguing and mind-blowing masterpieces from his 2023 collection. He told Arts&Culture that the exhibition is meant for charity. He stated that its objective is to encourage people to change their mindset and realise that art can help improve lives. Furthermore, he explained that the exhibition is also meant to promote art and expose it to the general public, collectors, media, companies, government and cultural institutions. “The intention is also to make visual art fashionable, to sell masterpieces and donate part of the proceeds to the (BCD) that is embarking on a journey to start disability and art projects next year that is expected to run for three years,” Ketshotseng said.
He continued: “As the CEO of Kenny Arts, I have been teaching art to many excelling artists. As my students excel and start their own, I then wondered whether my efforts would not be beneficial to differently disabled persons. That is why I decided to pitch myself to the BCD for a partnership to pursue this cause,” he added. Ketshotseng said it was easy to reach an agreement with the BCD because they are both on a common course. “My dream is to work with them and see one-day exhibiting artworks from people from their organisation,” he explained. Ketshotseng also said his passion for visual art comes a long way.
