The 12th annual Baardskeerdersbos Art Route took place from 26 to 27 October 2019 with nine artists opening their homes and studios to the public. Kali van der Merwe (left), along with guest artist, Fred Hartman (right), exhibited fine art photography, taxidermy and through-glass photography at her studio, while Jon Daamen provided an exotic lunch of West Indian Chicken Curry or vegan Caribbean Callaloo, cooked with passion.
‘First Friday’ in Hermanus is our part of a worldwide initiative to make art and art galleries more accessible to the public. On the First Friday of every month, the twenty art galleries in the centre of Hermanus remain open until 8pm. Stroll through the village, savour a glass of wine from one of our local vineyards and enjoy the astonishing range of art and fine craft on display.
Art learners join the Artwalk T
he November Artwalk is gearing up to be a very special one for art learners from Hawston and Mount Pleasant, who may not have had the opportunity before to visit art galleries or experience the hugely popular Hermanus First Fridays (HFF) Artwalk. Thanks to a collaborative effort by the HFF Committee, Hermanus Visual Art & Design Centre, Ocean Basket Hermanus and the ChillGuru tour bus, these learners are in for a treat this Friday. Between 16:50 and 17:10 the 29 learners will be collected at designated pick-up points in Hawston and Mount Pleasant by the ChillGuru bus and brought to Lemm’s Corner, where they will be divided into four groups. Each group will then do the Artwalk under the supervision of an adult. The individuals who have volunteered to accompany the learners are Gerhard Coetzee, Vivienne Mitchley, Danny Myburgh, Hannes Grobler and Katherine Liefeldt. After strolling from gallery to gallery and taking in the vast array of art on display in the HFF galleries, the groups will meet up at Ocean Basket at 19:15. The original plan was to provide take-away meals for the children to enjoy on the bus on the return journey, but Gideon and Michele Serfontein, the owners of Ocean Basket Hermanus,
proposed instead that the children enjoy their meal in the restaurant. “Not everyone has had the opportunity to eat at our restaurant and we thought we could make it a special occasion if they were able to come to us for their meal,” said Michele. At 20:00 the ChillGuru bus will collect the children at the Village Square and transport them back to the pick-up points in Mount Pleasant and Hawston. “This is another beautiful example of Hermanus standing together to make good things happen,” says Jeandré Marinier of the Hermanus Visual Art & Design Centre who, together with her colleague Vivienne Mitchley, provides art education to learners from Hermanus High, Northcliff House College and Hawston Secondary. “We’d like to thank everyone who has sponsored and supported this initiative from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you all for your generosity, time and effort,” says Jeandré. “Special thanks go to Liz Coates and the HFF Committee, Gideon and Michele Serfontein of Ocean Basket, Brennan Davis and Kürt Krause of The Wine Glass and ChillGuru, and Johann and Gaynor Rupert of the Rupert Foundation.”
