Buzzart!

KZNSA Gallery: Now on

Buzzart offers a one-stop shop for all festive shopping – including stocking-fillers and greeting cards. The Gallery will be stocked with art, craft, decor items, garments, jewellery, Christmas tree decorations, recycled art, ceramics, mosaics and accessories. Of particular mention is the KZN Association of Ceramic Artists who has contributed a range of items made by their members. There will also be a selection of paintings reinterpreting the works of iconic South African artist, Pierneef.  

The idea is to spend time leisurely browsing for all your Christmas presents – with gift ideas suitable for tots to grannies; work colleagues and loved ones. If one needs to pause for inspiration and sustenance, the KZNSA Gallery Cafe will be open! The idea is for Glenwood to be the place for festive fare – with Buzzart complementing the Glenwood Market in Bulwer Park – allowing for two Sunday morning festive shopping options – without having to move your car! 

Date                now on            / Tuesday to Sunday

Venue             KZNSA Gallery
