Welz and Kilbourn shared much in common when it came to art and culture — a rich conversation ensued. By way of a tribute to Welz, Kilbourn will speak about his friend and fellow art-lover Welz at a fundraiser dinner being hosted at Welgemeend on 4 August. Proceeds from the fundraiser dinner, which kicks-off the month-long exhibition and education programme aimed at school learners, will benefit Welgemeend and its remarkable Boerneef Collection.

A teacher at the University of Cape Town for four decades, Boerneef eschewed cars and never travelled abroad, devoting himself entirely to his books and art. Frank Kilbourn shares a geographical connection with Stern. The Kilbourn Collection also includes many works produced after , notably contemporary paintings by Georgina Gratrix, Zander Blom and Khaya Witbooi, and photographic works by Robin Rhode.

Kilbourn takes over as chairman from businesswoman and collector Elizabeth Bradley, who retired earlier this year. Her tastes and cultural affiliations are strongly aligned with those of the Kilbourns. My new involvement with the company is a continuation and deepening of my love for art.
