Palalani will this Saturday engage in charity work through his art work
The 21-year-old will tomorrow host an art exhibition in partnership with Goals for Change. In an interview with Arts&Culture, Palalani said the exhibition will be held on Saturday, September 7 at 6pm at Travelodge. According to the artist, this exhibition is of higher significance as it embodies his passion for art with a commitment to supporting the community. “At the exhibition, attendees can look forward to an evening filled with creativity and inspiration. I will showcase a selection of my latest pieces, many of which are part of my ongoing 366-day art challenge. These artworks explore important themes like personal growth, cultural identity and social issues, reflecting my journey as an artist,” he proudly said.

He added that all proceeds from the auction would go directly to charity, adding a meaningful purpose to the exhibition. He also said he will conduct a live drawing session during the gala, giving attendees a rare chance to witness his creative work firsthand. He pointed out that that interactive experience was designed to engage and inspire, making the evening even more special. He further invited patrons to join them for what promises to be a memorable evening of art, creativity, and community impact. He said together, they could make a difference, as one artwork at a time.
