RESEARCH FORUMThe Ecotourism research unit of Technikon Natal in collaboration with other tertiary institutions in KZN invite all interested to an Arts & Culture Tourism Research Forum to be held at 09h00 on September 19 at the Cecil Renaud Theatre, Technikon Natal. The purpose is to provide a forum for academics, the tourism trade and industry, government and the community to discuss the issues related to cultural tourism in general. The organisers believe that tourism is a very complex industry which needs approaches of its own and that studies in tourism and its impact on the environ-ment are virtually non-existent. What is needed is a multi- disciplinary, holistic approach to the question of the inter-action between tourism and the environment. Anyone with an interest in research networking in the field of arts, crafts and culture and who cares for people and the environment should attend this forum. So, too, should anyone involved in tourism who has an interest in research. Register in advance to secure your seat. The registration fee is R60. Contact 301-7823 x 268 or fax 301-8782. |

ADRIAN MCLEISHAdrian McLeish is rapidly making a name for himself as one of South Africa's leading airbrush artists."His work is fresh and there are no hidden agendas nor visuals to shock an already dazed and confused public," says Diana Kumst of Dolphin Dreams, a com-pany that is working on publishing Adrian's work on calendars and sourcing illustration work locally and inter-nationally. "Through his soul art he captures the spirit of living creatures, particularly marine life and dolphins and brings home to people's hearts the essence of these beautiful animals," Diana adds. Adrian is well-known for the murals he has painted in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban at various diving schools, restaurants, shops, etc. He donated his painting, Essence of Love to the Oceano-graphic Research Institute in Durban through which they raised R17 000. Contact Diana on telefax 0324: 485-3036. Or write to PO Box 42095, Zinkwazi, Darnall, 4480. |
