This event is a brief expose on the artists who participated on the Bag Factory's Inter-provincial project. The inter-provincial project invited 12 developing and mid-career artists from other parts of South Africa to Johannesburg. The project was based at the Bag Factory in Newtown, and gave participants the opportunity to experience the Johannesburg art scene and offered them the facilities to be creative together and enhance their art and their careers. The project consisted of informal talks/discussions by art personalities, drawing workshops, presentations by participants and Johannesburg artists, and an open creative workshop.
