Local township artists invited to join Hermanus' Night of 1000 Drawings

Friday, 13 November 2026

The popular Hermanus First Fridays Artwalk will once again host the much-anticipated Night of a Thousand Drawings on Friday, 4 December 2026.

The annual art-for-charity event sees original A5 artworks sold for just R100 each at 23 participating galleries in the Hermanus CBD, with proceeds going to local charitable causes.

To support local artists who may need assistance in taking part, Overstrand Municipality is making A5 paper available through its Socio-Economic Services team and is encouraging artists, particularly from the Zwelihle, Mount Pleasant and Hawston communities to contribute their creativity to this worthy cause.

Artists are invited to donate original drawings, paintings, sketches, photographs, embroidery or mixed-media artworks before the submission deadline of 2 December 2026.

Whether you are an established artist or simply enjoy creating, this is an opportunity to showcase your talent and be part of one of Hermanus' most popular community art events.

For enquiries and artwork donations, contact Busisiwe or Nolundi on 028 313 5020 or email ledtemp6@overstrand.gov.za.
