#Smartists: An exhibition based on the South African National Curriculum of Visual Arts for Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) phase . The Polokwane Art Museum in partnership with the department of Visual Arts, Art History and Musicology at the University of South Africa (Unisa) present the annual #SmARTISTS exhibition. The exhibition provides a special platform for teachers and learners to interact with artworks by some of the artists included in the list of TVET visual arts curriculum themes.

​

Some of the activities during the exhibition will include walkabouts aimed at providing in-depth discussions on national, continental and international issues relevant to the artworks selected from the Unisa permanent art and the Polokwane Art Museum collections. It will further provide a vibrant overview from the South African art history to contemporary art whilst also empowering and developing smart critical thinkers through visual interactions and experience.
