Exhibitions – Fibre Art
Fibre Art Exhibition 2023
This exhibition, curated for the past ten years by Dal Botha, has become one of the major group exhibitions of
the festival. However, over the years the exhibition has been installed in a number of venues, starting out in
the Old Synagogue (now the Overstrand Learning Hub) then moving to the Fernkloof Hall, the Municipal Auditorium
and then last year, to The Marine Hotel.
None of these venues has done justice to the artists nor their artworks. What is needed for artworks of this size and
intricacy is a gallery space in which to install a ‘proper’ exhibition. After much consideration, and with some regret,
it has been decided that the only solution is for the FynArts fibre art exhibition to become an annual, stand-alone event
presented in the FynArts Gallery.
During the exhibition period a number of related talks, walk-throughs, demonstrations and workshops will take place.
Save the dates below and return to Hermanus to take part in this new event on the FynArts calendar.
Sat 4 Oct – SUN 12 Nov
Abundance
The innate tendency of nature and of life to manifest,
grow and become more – Remez Sasson
Tapping into the energy of abundance allows artists to create with more joy,
exuberance and unlimited possibilities. Stretching beyond anticipation,
the artworks comprise a multitude of styles, media and textures.
This theme also represents the many blessings that are present in our daily
lives and encouragement to focus our attention on thankfulness.
