Dear Wonga,
In the name of all Humanity the African Spiritual expression of Ernest Mancoba
The Ernest Mancoba exhibition at the Gold of Africa Museum closed on the 31 of March, and we are in the process of returning your drawings and staff back to you. They were very important to the success of this exhibition and we'd like to thank you very much for allowing us the use of them.
We would also like to inform you that we are currently preparing to make a travelling poster exhibition of selected images from the exhibition. We intend to show these posters as part of a series of art educational workshops in community art centres around South Africa. We appreciate your indication of support for this idea. Amongst other goals we hope to bring the artists from the artist's workshop together again as teachers in this practical project.
Nevertheless we thank you once again for your inestimable support, and look forward to working with you in the future. We also wish you all the very best for your planned exhibition later this year in Cape Town and hope that we will be able to be of assistance.
Sincerely,
