The NEWWORK project is an annual showcase that is produced by the graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts class. It is an opportunity for the group to debut themselves as the next generation of artists.

After two years of an online presence, the exhibition will be publicly launched at the Wits Art Museum, The Point of Order and the Arthouse Studios. NEWWORK22 features 35 artists that work in a diverse range of media: performance, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, multimedia installation and interactive events.

NEWWORK is fresh, critical and experimental. https://newworkwits.co.za/
