The Baardskeerdersbos Art Route takes place 3
times a year. A cross
section of local painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors and
ceramicists exhibit their latest work. With over a
dozen solo exhibitions, this is a wonderful opportunity to catch a personal
glimpse into the lives of rural artists, as most exhibitions take place in the
artist’s homes and studios. This event enjoys wide support and interest from the broader SA art community, and has
invited guest artists to present solo exhibitions. Past guest shows have
included Hanneke Benade, Clare Menck, Vernon Swart and Weyers du Toit. A group exhibition of local Overberg Illustrators, including the work of Tom Kyffin, Val Myburgh and Martitus van Tee, added interest to a recent Art Route.
It’s
difficult not to feel a yearning for the simple life when the time comes to
leave. After a weekend of inspirational art, great conversation, scenic
splendour and new friends, this event will be marked firmly in your mind and in
your diary as not to be missed in the future!
