Mbongeni Buthelezi ~ The artist who 'paints' with recycled plastic
The South Africa Art Scene is a vibrant and world renowned.
South African artists are very well represented in collections and homes across the world.
There are many “Artists Villages” to be found in South Africa. One of them is Hermanus. Hermanus has been the home of creatives, artists, writers, functional art and craft creators for many years and continues to grow more popular. Do yourself the favour of exploring the Hermanus Art scene by doing the First Friday of each month’s Art Walks through the streets of Hermanus Art Lovers Utopia.

First Friday Art Walk ~ Hermanus
First Fridays’ in Hermanus is our part of a worldwide initiative to make art and art galleries more accessible to the public. On the first Friday of every month, art galleries in the centre of Hermanus remain open until 8pm. Pick up the map at any gallery, stroll through the village, savour a glass of wine from one of our local vineyards and enjoy the astonishing range of art and fine craft on display. The array of artworks available at the participating galleries ensures something for every palate. If you’re looking to spend R50 000 plus on an investment piece by a famous South African master, you’ll find it. If you’re searching for a delicate little porcelain bowl at R100, it’ll be waiting for you. If you want to see an artist at work, several of the galleries are also the home studios of resident painters and sculptors whose completed works are displayed. Ceramics, bronzes, glassware, jewellery, watercolours, African artefacts; more than enough to fill an hour or two with delight and indulgence. Each month the artwalk has a different theme and on most months there are also fantastic prizes up for grabs. Don’t forget to buy your First Friday walking stick from participating galleries.
