Nature Morte
Continuing the exploration of genre themed exhibitions inspired by the Rupert Museum’s permanent collections, Nature Morte is the second in the series, following on the much appreciated show – Faces & Figures.
celebrating HERITAGE with the YOUTH
The Rupert Museum and artist Ras Silas Motse taught 48 learners from five local schools how to use COLOUR, LINE and SHAPE in graffiti design. The learners created panels with elements of South African heritage and diversity, expressing their pride and joy. The panels are a message to celebrate our country, its people and the youth.
PORTRAIT 100
The PORTRAIT 100 exhibition will enable art lovers to indulge in a genre that has captured the hearts of artists, art historians and -custodians alike for centuries. By allowing us a glimpse into our own personage, the depiction of the human figure has truly stood the test of time as a relatable, enriching, and empathetic subject matter.
IN-MOTION
Brought together in one space, a selection of international artists part of the Huberte Goote Collection, during the exhibition a rotation of other artists and artworks will also be introduced. The works have been extensively labeled and exhibited as Art of the Space Age since the 1960s locally and abroad by the Rembrandt van Rijn Art Foundation.

The Social Impact Arts Prize awards artists who situate their practices in socially concerned conditions ranging from the environment and climate change to human relations and social pressures of an inequal society.
The Cape Town Triennials
Four successful instalments between 1982 and 1991, established The Cape Town Triennial as one of South Africa’s most established art exhibitions. Political turmoil during this period in South African history reflected in what is generally referred to as “Resistance Art”. Sociopolitical commentary gave powerful meaning to rising artistic voices while emerging artists established their visual practices inside this canon.

The Book as Art Object
Artists have been active in book production for centuries, but the artist’s book is a relatively new field of art production, dating back to the late 1960s. Book art straddles the worlds of books and art, and are generally associated with conventional paper codices that are conceptualised as works of art.
