Hermanus Tourism presents a premier celebration of South African Art. A fusion of Festival and Winter School, Hermanus FynArts is for those who appreciate intellectual, visual, and creative stimulation and a vibrant social buzz.
The ten days will be filled with exhibitions, discussions, recitals, and a large range of courses offered by accomplished artists. All the visual arts will be represented (painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry and film) as well as music (orchestral, classical, jazz and opera); literature (English and Afrikaans); and award-winning wine and food. And as well as all of this, an innovation of Hermanus FynArts is the whole host of workshops on offer to suit any level of competence: ceramics, photography, poetry, botanical and landscape painting, cookery, writing and life drawing. Blend your own wine or learn about the subtleties of pairing wine and food, paint en plein air in the company of fellow artists or struggle with words together with like-minded writers. The programme, which is already teeming with activities, holds the promise of yet more tantalizing treats in the pipeline! There is no need for visitors to Hermanus FynArts to drive their cars; a complimentary hop on-hop/hop-off transport will link the ten central galleries exhibiting the works of a host of acclaimed artists, ceramicists, jewellers, photographers and sculptors, both local and national. In addition, a tour bus will do a loop of the eight participating wine farms on the Hermanus Wine Route and it will drop you off and pick you up along a regular art and tastings route at an affordable rate. Take a leisurely stroll to gaze at outdoor sculptures, pop into bookshops to browse or meet a local author, join discussion groups, sit down to food and wine tastings and pairings and cooking demonstrations, join poetry readings, soirees, illustrated lectures on music and art, and much more. Special attention is being given by the organisers to cater for single participants. A taste of what’s on the programme –
