It\u2019s that time of year when the night skies at Spier Wine Farm are set alight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spier Light Art has returned, and will be on until 1 April. Visitors can illuminate their evenings with 21 different light and video artworks installed across the farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrive just before the sun goes down to enjoy an outdoor feast of food and wine under the summer sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spier exhibits one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country and aims to make art accessible to as many people as possible. That\u2019s why this annual light-art experience is always free, the aim being to celebrate artists and their creations, and offer every visitor a unique interaction with inspiring artworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Spier Light Art 2024 artists grapple with big themes and modern challenges such as environmental disasters and climate change, how technology dominates our lives, the effects of racism and colonialism, gender identities and how humans make sense of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curators Vaughn Sadie and Jay Pather promise visitors to the farm yet another bold, bright and beautiful art experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whichever artwork you encounter, you will be engaged and entertained in South Africa\u2019s one-of-a-kind art experience. Bring an open mind and comfy walking shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
