GEORGE NEWS - Wilderness was the place to be the past weekend when talent from the entire Garden Route community and beyond, had the opportunity to “Let off Steam” and share in an outpouring, staging and enjoyment of talent in this most beautiful region of our country.
Truly a canvas on which anyone and everyone could express themselves through paint, costume, music, food fantasy and laughter. Or simply being there to share.
Yes, you could share in community funding initiatives like the popular ‘Night of a thousand Drawings’. A much anticipated yearly event that demonstrates how we can take hands and help each other through the creative impulse.
Regardless of whether you are highly skilled or simply highly enthusiastic and caring individual you could participate fully in fun and fantasy while letting off steam in a most creatively inspired manner.
This spirit of participation lies at the heart of the ‘WILDERNESS ART FESTIVAL’!

Those with staying power enjoyed more live music and coffee art pouring all interspersed with many more outpourings of creativity at Wilderness Hotel venue as well as Palm Gardens Square which staged tree planting, poetry and pottery textile painting rounded off with pancakes!
