The Nederburg Arts Experience which this year runs from the
25th September to 3rd October, is now in its fourth year and
consolidating as one of the best of the regional Arts Festivals in South
Africa. There are three main areas of focus:
First is the Visual Arts - Knysna has more artists and the Arts
Experience offers more exhibitions than any other Festival in the
country as well as an unequalled programme of Living Workshops and
demonstrations by artists..
The next is Community involvement - the entire community,
including the Tourist and Business sector as well as the economically
disadvantaged groups are included in as many ways as is possible, and
this involvement is growing steadily with Traditional singing, etc as
well as lectures and workshops for all interest groups.
The Spring School, introduced as a full section last year, has
proved to be extremely popular and valuable
Finally are the Performing Arts which caters for a solid
background of plays, music and performances of all kinds so that
visitors to the area as well as local residents are able to choose from
a rich variety of arts and entertainment.
Local entrepreneurship is growing and making it possible for all
individuals and organisations, including schools, of Knysna to
participate in the Experience to their own particular advantage
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!
Yours sincerely
GILLIAN CARTER
DIRECTOR: COMMUNITY AND PERFORMING ARTS.
