Langenhoven Street, George, in November.
Owner Lynne de Jonge explained that the artists who exhibit there have become friends along the way and it has become a place where the creative juices flow. It is also a cultural tourist attraction where contemporary design can be appreciated and visitors can learn about the lives of artists and enjoy an 'edutainment experience'.
Locals
"It is a collection of mainly local artists, but also includes the work of South African artists who have made an impact on the area. Exhibits are constantly changing and we are in a position to custom source and commission work.
It is not only a gallery, but also a working studio, a place where all sorts of inspirational courses are held, be they artistic, cultural, motivational and writing. We want to motivate, stimulate and instil a sense of wonder and appreciation in the arts in our community as well as offer a venue for good debate, sensible argument and information."
Jewellery
"I share my gallery space with a collection of artists who I admire and with whom I want to share. I have a fine art degree from Stellenbosch University where I majored in 'metaalkunde', jewellery design. I went on to work in the fashion industry and studied further through the Unisa Fine Art Department." For the last 15 years Lynne has been involved in the interior design industry. "I also paint. I am best described as a mixed media, graphic artist and use photography in much of my work."
