A Note from the KZNSA President: Stepping
into 2026 Together
2025 was a long year, and a good one. It stretched us, reshaped us, and introduced new faces into the life of the gallery. Through change and continuity, KZNSA remained open, curious, and deeply human.
As we step into 2026, I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead. This
year, our commitment is simple and intentional: to ensure that the gallery, the
shop, and the café feel active, welcoming, and worth lingering in. These are
not separate spaces, but parts of one ecosystem. A place to encounter ideas,
support makers and creators, share conversation, and pause.
When you visit, take your time. Step away from the everyday rush that is so often demanded of us. Let the space meet you where you are. Move through the gallery slowly, allowing the work to challenge you, surprise you, or simply sit with it for a while. Every artwork you encounter, and every curatorial decision behind it, is shaped with intention.
From there, you might wander into the shop and take a small piece of
KZNSA with you, or find yourself in the café, where conversations tend to
unfold naturally over a drink or something freshly baked. However you choose to
engage, know that KZNSA is a space that welcomes many ways of being present.
As Council, we serve this institution with integrity, care, and a clear sense of responsibility, and we remain grateful for the community that continues to show up, support, challenge, and believe in this space. KZNSA is built through these encounters, again and again.
We are honoured to open our doors again in 2026. Come in, stay a while,
and make the journey through KZNSA part of your routine. We promise, it’s worth
it.
