Artloversenjoyingthe NoordhoekValley exhibition will be contributing towardsthe developmentoffutureyoung artistsinthe Masiphumelelearea, when theart expo arriveson Saturday 14 andSunday15March
Atotal of 28 local artistswill be exhibiting at this year’s Noordhoek Open Studios event which is organised by exhibiting artist and owner of Noordhoek ArtPoint, Aimee Kruger
Noordhoek Open Studios beganinthe 1990s as acharity-driven initiative–a way forartists to come together and raise much-needed fundsfor local causes.
This year all exhibiting artists willopen their doors and offer art enthusiasts a chancetomeet the artists. They will also offer them access to observethe artworks in progress, and purchase directly from creators.
Kruger emphasises the event’s dual mission of showcasing localtalent while supporting community development. This year all entry ticket proceeds benefit Masi Sports, anon-profit organisation (NPO) providing structured sports and arts programmes to childrenwithlimited access to such opportunities.
Last year’sevent raised R43 000 forthe cause,with organisers aiming to double that amount this year.
“We created Open Studios to celebrate the incredible creative talent we have here in Noordhoek, but it’s also about connection,” says Kruger.
Tickets are available via Quicket, at Noordhoek Art Point, and at participating studios.
