Durban’s biggest
local independent Christmas fair, KZNSA’s Buzzart
runs at the KZNSA Gallery in Glenwood until January 15, 2017.
“Now a local-only
affair, with exciting makers in many disciplines, Buzzart is the destination
for original proudly South African gifts and collectable art and bespoke design
in Durban catering for those on a budget looking for stocking fillers, to those
wanting to purchase collectable pieces,” explained KZNSA Gallery’s Angela Shaw.
The exhibition
offers products to suit every taste and occasion - including jewellery;
textiles; Christmas décor; lighting; fashion (clothing, shoes, bags and
accessories), stationery; wirework; beadwork; ceramics; art and design books;
and original artworks.
Buzzart special projects this year include a homage to the balmy subtropics
taking the form of a range of work with a tropical / jungle theme – in
particular working with a monkey motif honouring the Year of the Monkey which
wraps up in January 2017. Artists working in Pascale Chandler’s studio have
been working with a monkey theme and are exhibiting their work in the Park
Gallery.
The KZNSA is a
not-for-profit, member-based, public benefit arts organisation – situated in
