Historic Day for Gorgeous Gansbaai Arts Project

BIG NEWS!

On Wednesday, October 16th, we celebrated a historical moment for our Gorgeous Gansbaai Arts Project! We proudly handed over our first plaque to Seef, honouring the incredible team of NATION BUILDERS and the talented artist behind our stunning mural.

A heartfelt thank you to Seef for this wonderful opportunity! 

A special shoutout to Antje Shone for your magnificent design, and to our amazing NATION BUILDERS - Laurette, Toni, Nettie, Anita, and Louise - who dedicated their time and talents to this project. Your efforts truly make a difference!

These vibrant murals not only beautify Gansbaai but also encourage everyone to pause, appreciate, and support our local businesses. Together, we are transforming Gansbaai into a Gorgeous, Generous, Kind, and Caring town for all!

A big thank you to Marinda Van De Walt from Gansbaai Courant for capturing these special moments with your fantastic photos!

Lastly, we extend our deepest gratitude to all the NATION BUILDERS who bless us daily with your acts of kindness, both big and small. You are the heart of our success in Gansbaai. DANKIE!

With love from the GGAP team:
Louise Swart, Laurette Nel, Glenda Kitley, and Antje Shone.
