		<description><![CDATA[Oliewenhuis Art Museum is excited to host the exhibition Beyond Walls: Emerging Contemporary Voices, curated from the ArtbankSA Collection. Unlike traditional museum collections confined to institutional walls, ArtbankSA operates as a dynamic platform that circulates emerging artists' work through leasing and sales to collectors and the general public. This exhibition captures the essence of this fluid model, presenting works that exist in active dialogue with diverse spaces and communities. Beyond Walls reveals urgent themes coursing through contemporary South African art: intergenerational knowledge transmission, cultural custodianship, memory's contested territories, and identity's continuous formation. Yolanda de Kock, Collections Manager at Oliewenhuis, joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat with all the details of Beyond Walls which is on until the 6th of April 2026. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1603827</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1603827</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Musiek vir viool en pyporrel het oor die eeue baie gewild geword. Die orrel het moontlikhede wat vergelykbaar is met dié van 'n simfonieorkes as gevolg van al die verskillende register-opsies wat orkesinstrumente verteenwoordig. Die volgehoue klank op die orrel bied ook 'n kooragtige begeleiding vir die viool, wat groot bewegingsvryheid vir die viool toelaat wat nie met die klavier moontlik sou wees nie. Zanta Hofmeyr en Cameron Upchurch sal 'n verskeidenheid van musiek aanbied tydens hul program van bekende komponiste die 25ste Oktober by die Odeion in Bloemfontein. Zanta sluit by Yolanda Maartens aan in die OFM Kunsteklup met al die besonderhede. ]]></description>

Die orrel het moontlikhede wat vergelykbaar is met dié van 'n simfonieorkes as gevolg van al die verskillende register-opsies wat orkesinstrumente verteenwoordig.

Zanta Hofmeyr en Cameron Upchurch sal 'n verskeidenheid van musiek aanbied tydens hul program van bekende komponiste die 25ste Oktober by die Odeion in Bloemfontein. Zanta sluit by Yolanda Maartens aan in die OFM Kunsteklup met al die besonderhede.]]></itunes:summary>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1587620</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1587620</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Jonel Scholtz het in 1988 begin skilder terwyl sy op hoërskool was, saam met Louise Goudemond, 'n Amerikaanse kunstenaar wat spesialiseer in figuurlike werk en olieportrette. In 2025 het haar kuns haar weer eens 'n wêreldwye platform gegee. Jonel is gekies om haar kuns in te sluit in "Routines", 'n uitstalling in Londen onder die kuratorskap van Anne-Marie Bickerton en Marcus Jake. Dit is 'n samewerkingsuitstalling tussen twee Londense galerye en die uitstalling sal tot 20 September 2025 duur. Jonel woon in Potchefstroom waar sy ook kunsklasse bied en sy sluit aan by Yolanda Maartens in die OFM Art Beat om oor haar kuns te praat en ander kreatiewes te motiveer.
