Exhibitions by:

Blue de Gersigny @plasticsareforever

Blue is a local Kleinbaai resident who will be exhibiting her unique artworks created almost entirely from unaltered beach plastic.

Blue just finished a very successful exhibition with the Hermanus FynArts Gallery and we're looking forward to seeing some of her newer artworks.

Faye Graham

Faye is a local resident that started getting our attention after seeing her work on her social media platforms.

Faye simply creates during her spare time to stay sane.

Isipho Sam

"OUR GIFT"

A workshop held during Women's Month led to the discovery of many hidden talents in Masakhane and Blompark. 

Thanks to Gansbaai Tourism, the group will be exhibiting some of their amazing wares with us. 

Belinda Ann Burchell

Belinda has been an art & design teacher for 21 years while continuing to paint in her spare time. 

Her experience over the years has included mural painting, stage design and set painting for which she has received numerous awards. 

"By being open to the differences existing between fine art and design, I allowed my experiences of both to flow together and found the result to be illustrations, some of which will be represented here." 

More artists will be announced!

 
About "First Thursdays"

The "First Thursdays" concept started in Cape Town in 2012 and in Jozi in 2015, inspired by similar initiatives around the world. 

The initiative is equally about access to the arts as it is about injecting life into our spaces. 

Our concept is to provide local artists & musicians a platform to showcase their talents in a comfortable, casual environment, after hours.
