To celebrate this exciting transition, the gallery proudly presents the grand opening of the “I Hope You Dance” art exhibition, curated from the esteemed North-West University Art Collection. This exhibition will be on view until 5 July. Curator Sheryl Msomi joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat with all the details.

The NWU Gallery’s new home is now at Building F16G, near the Protection Services building. 

Life, like dance, is an intricate choreography – woven with movement, rhythm, grace, struggle, and transformation. This exhibition draws deep parallels between the stages of life and the fundamental elements of dance, revealing how we navigate existence with intention, improvisation, and an ultimate bow. 

Though only a glimpse into the collection, the works on display represent a century of the university’s dedication to art, connecting us to our past, celebrating our heritage, and inviting us to contemplate the future we aspire to create, to dance.

Look out for the grey building with the red roof. Photo supplied
