visual arts component of the festival is an integral part of the programming
mix, with hundreds of KZN, national and international visual artists exhibiting
at the festival.
“The festival organisers greatly value the
participation of all artists, old and new. We are delighted to be able to
supply a platform for local and visiting talented artists and we are constantly
looking at ways to add interest and diversity to what has become a major aspect
of this event,” says Festival Director, Sue Clarence.
“Owing to the ever-growing number of
applicants vs the amount of appropriate indoor space available, it is necessary
for there to be a selection process. Emphasis will be placed on variety and
improved quality,” says Clarence.

already contacted the Hilton College Theatre/Festival office, office,
expressing an interest in this year’s festival, do not need to re-submit
