Christopher Reid won a People’s Choice Award for his painting, Freedom, at the 2017 Freedom In Art Competition. The Auction & Exhibition Gala Event was held at the Cape Town City Hall on the 18th November from 5-9pm. Proceeds from the event went toward helping fight human trafficking. S-CAPE and STOP charities benefitted and were on hand to answer questions.
This year is the first of what organizers plan to be an annual awareness initiative. Artwork was featured on an online gallery prior to the event and is made available for voting and bidding on www.freedominart.co.za in addition to the live exhibition. There was a wide range of artistic styles and skill levels on display and a large crowd attended to support the cause.
