2024-12-11 Senzeni Marasela: Ellis art house Projects

Our fellow Senzeni Marasela is one of the founding members of the Ellis art house Projects, a dynamic collective of independent artists dedicated to fostering collaboration, creativity, and growth in the global art world. We are a group of passionate individuals working out of Ellis House Art Building in Johannesburg, South Africa, a space where artists come together to share ideas, push boundaries, and support one another in their studio practices.

The Benefit Auction is a key event that coincides with the launch week of Ellis Art House Projects. This auction will raise essential funds to support the artists within our collective and assist in the start-up of our initiative. The proceeds will directly contribute to creating opportunities for artists, including funding exhibitions, residencies, and studio programs.

In 2025, Ellis Art House Projects will kick off a series of continuous programs, focusing on collaboration and community building. We aim to partner with other artist spaces, schools, and art enthusiasts to create a network of shared resources and opportunities. By fostering these connections, we hope to enrich the art ecosystem and provide emerging and established artists with the support they need to thrive. The Benefit Auction is a vital step in bringing this vision to life, and we invite everyone to be part of this exciting journey.

The benefit auction opened on 10 December and will last until 15 December! Don’t miss if in Johannesburg!
