● The Tina Skukan Gallery is situated on one of the last remaining smallholdings in the suburb of Faerie Glen, Pretoria,
which originated out of the former Valley Farm smallholdings.
This incredible landmark secretly tucked away in the heart of suburbia forms part of the Bronberg Nature Reserve.
The owner, Thea Nigrini, who has been residing on this four hectare holding for the past 50 years, adapted the old barn twenty years ago to house a gallery for contemporary art and craftwork.
● This art & nature lover's paradise hosts monthly exhibitions of established and professional artists. Cultural activities such as artists talks, artists demonstrations, walkabouts and performances are presented during exhibitions of leading
S.A. contemporary artists.
● Adjacent to the gallery are permanent exhibition areas including a scuptural garden which can also be visited.
Works on display include mixed media, acrylics, printmedia, drawings, scraperboard, sculptures, oils, watercolours, enamels and pastels.
● Exhibition openings, with wine and refreshments, take place once a month on a Sunday morning at 11h30.
The exhibition openings, with well-known opening speakers have become a prominent art event that attracts a crowd of art lovers from Pretoria, Johannesburg and surrounding areas.
● Supporting the gallery is The Gallery Connection, a tea garden where visitors can enjoy refreshments and light meals in a rustic country atmosphere. Geese, ducks and chickens that freely roam the farmyard contribute to the enviroment's atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The Gallery and Tea Garden are being visited by people all over the world.
