And it couldn't be happening in a more historic year. OppiKoppi is turning 15, and to mark this rock ‘n rolling occasion, it's being declared a National Heritage Monument. The festival has been listed as one of the 10 best in the world and iconic jeans brand Levi's® has been part of the party for the past six years. All these numbers add up to a momentous event - a truly South African institution where music and culture are celebrated in red dust & denim at Northam.
So if you want to feature at this incredible festival, but you're without a backing band, then don't worry. Get busy with your pens, pencils, paintbrushes and PhotoShop, and make sure that you're one of the 20 artists who will be selected to display their work at the exhibition. You'll receive a free pair of tickets to PrintSlam and your work will be sold at the event. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it.
But before you hit the canvas, take down these details:
• All Prints must be signed and editioned (minimum 10 copies). Print sizes must be A2 or smaller for display space purposes.
• Artists can send a couple of artworks
• The artwork must be marked as “limited edition”.
• There will be loads more information on the Facebook group - watch out for it.
