About

The Gorgeous Gansbaai ARTS Project (GGAP) began in 2024 with a clear purpose: to celebrate Gansbaai while protecting what makes it special. 

Through public art and community-driven initiatives, the project promotes Gansbaai as a model for responsible tourism, highlighting conservation and respect for the natural environment that surrounds this unique coastal village.

At its core, GGAP is about people. The project is committed to training and educating community members, creating opportunities for skills development, job creation, and creative expression. Most importantly, to grow nation builders who take pride in Gansbaai and play an active role in shaping its future.

GGAP invites everyone to be part of this journey, beautifying Gansbaai for residents and visitors alike. Each individual, from every community, is encouraged to feel seen, valued, and truly at home in the Gansbaai family, working together to strengthen and uplift this remarkable coastal town.

Mission
  • To use creative arts to enhance the main road and communal spaces
  • To draw more tourists to Gansbaai
  • To educate and empower local communities using the creative arts
  • To stimulate and grow new economies for the community
  • To create retreats and experiences for artists
  • To invite the community to join the project and become nation builders
What is a Nation Builder

A nation builder is someone who actively contributes to the well-being and future of their community and country through positive actions and shared responsibility.

They help create a sense of belonging by supporting people, protecting places, and strengthening local culture and opportunity.

How to Be a Nation Builder

The only qualification to be a nation builder is to share daily gifts of kindness to help build a beautiful Gansbaai, for all to enjoy.
