A long weekend of fine art

The weather did not quite play along with all the art events that FynArts Select had planned for the long weekend, including the painting of the bollards and the plein air painting around the Old Harbour, but fortunately the main events on Saturday were able to go ahead.

Melvyn Minnaar gave the opening address at the opening of the FynArts Festival Artist, Beezy Bailey’s exhibition, Landing Stars, at the FynArts Gallery at 11:00 on Saturday morning, followed by the unveiling of the artist’s sculpture, Dancing Jester, at the Hermanus Waterfront. (It had been delivered and installed in the pouring rain on Friday!)

FynArts Festival Director Mary Faure expressed her gratitude to Beezy and art consultant, director and co-owner of the Everard Read Gallery, Charles Shields, who curated the exhibition, for their commitment to FynArts during these uncertain times. She also thanked the Village Square and Overstrand Municipality for agreeing to “yet another sculpture” being installed, this time at the waterfront amphitheatre.
