December is in full swing at the KZNSA! They currently have four shows on at the gallery, with lots of retail opportunities for your Christmas shopping and inspiration from local creatives, crafters and makers:
MAIN GALLERY: Members
Group Show | Sizwekandla Ngezandla
KZNSA members really showed up this year - over 200
individual pieces were submitted by over 45 member artists!
Comment from the KZNSA: “Thank you so much to all our members who went to the effort to create and make for this show. We wanted to treat this show as a formal exhibition so we reserved the use of the Main Gallery for our Members' Group Show, and we're so glad we did! Support our local artists and creatives this December and pop in to browse and purchase a one-off, handmade piece of art! Buyers take home their piece on the day of purchase. “
PARK GALLERY: Okwethu Okwezandla by ArtsResearchLab
Okwethu Okwezandla
is an exhibition of the heritage documentation of ifa crafted, undertaken by
ArtsResearchLab over a number of months and in various locations across
KwaZulu-Natal. Curated by Dr Rachel Baasch and Russel Hlongwane, the exhibition
details the legacy of craft in KZN that has informed ifa crafted design, their
approach and, most importantly, the crafters and makers whose skills and work
have produced the pieces we are so proud of!

MEZZANINE GALLERY: ifa crafted shop
A number of pieces from our ifa crafted craft and heritage
project are displayed and available to purchase on our Mezzanine Gallery! It's
a rare chance to see the ifa products in person, and to buy directly from ifa
crafted in a retail setting. The KZNSA is the ifa crafted birthplace, and the
connections the KZNSA Shop has with crafters and makers in KZN served as a
starting point for the project. We are proud to be exhibiting and selling ifa
pieces!
4. KZNSA SHOP: BUZZART25
Comment from the KZNSA: ‘The shop is PACKED with treasures
and goodies - thank you to our suppliers who submitted their amazing stock this
year! Many have asked us why we have kept BUZZART in the KZNSA Shop this year,
and the decision to do so was based on a number of reasons, but mostly because
we love our KZNSA Shop space, and wanted to highlight it, and our suppliers, as
our retail branch.”
All shows are on until January 18, 2026.
