I never realized that I grew up as a little artist, but looking back, I understand much better.<\/p>\n<p>Please read my background history here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/notes\/10151339275137374\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/notes\/10151339275137374\/<\/a> There is so much shared in this background.<br \/>\nI love all forms of art , and I am very passionate about artists across the world, especially those living in my own City\/Metro. I have a long standing vision for the artists &amp; crafters in Nelson Mandela Bay, a vision which has been shared by some of my fellow artists:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That our local artists (&amp; artists across our land) should all be registered on a collective database in order to move forward in the most progressive way (not only to know each other better as artists\/crafters &amp; to stand stronger together more unitedly, but to be recognized and supported much better &#8211; especially by Local Government, our citizens, dignitaries, visitors, tourists, the business sector, institutions, organizations, etc.); <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/artistdatabase\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/artistdatabase\/ <\/a><\/li>\n<li>That we need a Central Arts &amp; Culture Information Office, operated by artists (where they share their promotional materials), supported &amp; sponsored by local Government, at the best prime hotspot. I believe that this is the bottom corner section of the Noninzi Luzipho House (Pleinhuis), corner Govan Mbeki Str &amp; John Kani Rd, across our Main Library &amp; City Hall. As this is where many people frequent- especially those who should and those who are interested in the Arts. Including &#8211; \u00a0dignitaries from across the world, politicians, officials, local &amp; international visitors, and tourists. It\u2019s in the \u201cheart\u201d of our City, very much visible \u00a0and easily accessible (not somewhere up the hill, in a valley, or deserted spot). We need \u201ctraffic\u201d, and the best \u201ctraffic\u201d \u00a0if we are to move forward in the best way. Please sign my petition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/nelson_mandela_bay_-_artistscrafters_central_information_office__noninzi_luzipho_house_pleinhuis\">https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/nelson_mandela_bay_-_artistscrafters_central_information_office__noninzi_luzipho_house_pleinhuis\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li>That we need a central \u201cmother\u201d Arts &amp; Culture Centre which in return, should be linked to Arts &amp; Culture satellite Centers across the Metro. Not the other way around &#8211; the satellite Art &amp; Culture Centers in our City, were in fact developed first in the townships &amp; other areas, eventually crumbling down and closing due to lack of needed support &amp; visitors. If only Local Government had listened to our City\u2019s artists just after democracy dispensation. We were well and strongly organized as the Port Elizabeth Arts &amp; Culture Council &#8211; and collectively we identified the old Post Office in Brackens Str to be the perfect venue. We forwarded our proposal to our then Mayor Nceba Faku &amp; the Local Port Elizabeth Transitional Council, but we sadly never received any response on the proposal and appeal we made. The dream continues in my heart however &#8211; we need a well equipped Central Art &amp; Culture Centre &amp; in my mind, the old Post Office venue, in my mind, remains that perfect place. Where we can have an educational Centre &#8211; teaching children &amp; residents across our City in Arts\/culture\/heritage, where artists can have live-in studios as well professionally equipped workshops, with restaurants, mingling spots &amp; get together sessions. <a href=\"https:\/\/eprop.co.za\/commercial-property-news\/item\/11343-Bay-artts-get-creative-on-use-of-old-buildings.html\">https:\/\/eprop.co.za\/commercial-property-news\/item\/11343-Bay-artts-get-creative-on-use-of-old-buildings.html<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am a multi media artist, and since the past 20 years, began exploring textile &amp; embroidery art more and more.
