HERMANUS FYNARTS FESTIVAL Friday 7 June to Monday 17 June 2019 www.hermanusfynarts.co.za
The 2019 Festival Artist will be announced early in the new year. The rest of the visual art programme includes the FynArts ceramic, fibre art and small-sculpture group-exhibitions as well as a series of special exhibitions in galleries and on wine farms. As a trial, a couple of art tours were launched in 2017. Both the tours to meet artists in their homes or studios, as well as guided visits to homes to view private art collections, have become popular festival items. New visits will be added to the schedule for next year.
