Art learners join the Artwalk

The 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.
