It is always refreshing and admirable when a large company like Sasol takes the time and care to become part of initiative pertaining to arts and culture. Sasol launched ‘Sasol New Signatures 2012’ in March this year, as part of the project they are urging artists to attend free information sessions, these sessions will be held nationally during April and May 2012.
The sessions will inform potential contestants with all the necessary knowledge about the competition, background information and logistics like how the judging process will work. These sessions play an important part in the entry process so artists are recommended to attend. The sessions will be held by proclaimed artist and chairman of ‘Sasol New Signatures 2012’ Peter Binsbergen. This is a fine opportunity for any young and upcoming artist who thinks they have what it takes.
