SPLICED LIFE /
EXHIBITION / NIGHT OF A 1,000 DRAWINGS
There were some big names in the
art world rumoured to have been
hidden amongst the stacks – care
to share who volunteered their
artistry in the name of charity?
Pat Mautloa, Anthea Moys
(Standard Bank Young Artist 2013)…
The event showcases some of the
best talent in professional local
illustration & photography – is
there anywhere people can look up
their favourites from the events?
We have created a database of all
the contact details we received from
the artists that have contributed.
There were a multitude of doodle
sessions happening across the
city over the last few months – are
they organised by yourselves or
by individuals just wanting to get
involved?
Predominately by ourselves,
however, more and more people and
organisations invite us for doodles
or ask to host one on our behalf. This
year we even had doodles in Spain and
Munich to support our Joburg event.
How can people get involved
for the upcoming Cape Town &
Bloemfontein events?
Doodle, Doodle, Doodle…
If someone wants to get more
involved e.g. sponsorship, donations
in kind volunteering they should
contact us and we will facilitate

How have the international
events fared comparatively?
Amsterdam, Belgium, Cape
Town have all taken a very unique
flair to their own events, which
I personally love. Amsterdam is
quickly beginning to become big
and popular, with people all over the
world flying in to be part of it.
Are you looking to spread the love
further afield?
We are always dependent on
volunteers that are prepared to take
on this responsibility. They need to
have the same vision and required
skills and contacts to host this event
(as we don’t have a budget). It is not
in my control, but yes, the vision
is to have this event in as many
cities around the world as possible
and just help the charities that
desperately need funds to operate.
