DIE pragtige kusdorp Jeffreysbaai is lankal nie meer net \u2019n mekka vir branderplankryers en bruingebrande klonge met lang hare of persone wat in vrede daar wil aftree nie. <\/p>\n
Kunstenaars het die afgelope jare self hulle stempel op die dorpie afgedruk, gevestigde professionele kunstenaars sowel as diegene wat nog altyd daarvan gedroom het om hulle talente in di\u00e9 rigting te ontwikkel.<\/p>\n
Dit getal kunstenaars het soveel toegeneem dat \u2019n paar persone wat die dorp of eintlik hele Kouga-distrik se kunste op die hart dra, besluit het om \u2019n kunsvereniging te stig om aan die kunstenaars se behoeftes na die beste van hulle vermo\u00eb te probeer omsien.<\/p>\n
In 2020, net voor die pandemie sy wrede kloue in die w\u00eareld ingeslaan het, is die Kouga-kunsvereniging met Mike Jansen as die bestuurder daarvan, gestig.<\/p>\n
Jansen is al \u2019n groot deel van sy lewe betrokke by die kunsw\u00eareld en met \u2019n kop vir besigheid, rekenaartegnologie en finansi\u00eble be- stuur verseker hy dat di\u00e9 vereniging se sake glad sal verloop.<\/p>\n
Hy word bygestaan deur verskeie kundiges en een daarvan is Petra Stiglingh, \u2019n welbe-kende kunstenaar en eienaar van die Petra Stiglingh-kunsgalery op die dorp.<\/p>\n
Stiglingh is die tesourier van die vereniging maar skilder self ook al die afgelope 57 jaar en het al verskeie kunsslypskole in Suid-Afrika en Namibi\u00eb en solo-kunsuitstallings in Suid-Afrika, Engeland en Kanada aangebied. <\/p>\n
In samewerking met Agnesse Scott, sekretaresse van die vereniging en Hannel\u00e9 Viljoen wat na die regaspekte daarvan omsien, word die vereniging met sorg bestuur.<\/p>\n
Verskeie plaaslike kunstenaars soos Stephen Bibb, Cryselda Venter, Gideon Porter, Marietjie van Niekerk, Margaret Tuck, Leatitia Steyn, Dave Rossouw, Carol Janse van Vuuren, Heilna du Plooy, Liezel de Lange, Sue de Beer, Luan Cloete en Sonya Burger het reeds by die vereniging aangesluit.<\/p>\n
\u201cDis natuurlik in meeste kunstenaars se aard om so bietjie eenkant te wees en gewoonlik is di\u00e9 interessante spesie nie altyd gretig om verenigings en so te join<\/i> nie, maar ek dink dit sal mettertyd verbeter, veral omdat ons \u2019n klein gemeenskap is, en mekaar graag ondersteun,\u201d s\u00ea Stephen Bibb, plaaslike kunstenaar en komiteelid van die vereniging.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is verskriklik moeilik vir enige persoon veral ook vir kunstenaars om in die tye te oorleef, daarom kan die kunsvereniging werklik van waarde wees sover dit blootstelling aanbetref.<\/p>\n
\u201cVir my was di\u00e9 tyd gewis nie \u2019n walk in the park <\/i>nie, en ek is maar te dankbaar dat ek nog leef, gelukkig het ek kli\u00ebnte buite Jeffreysbaai en doen ek illustrasies vir oorsese kli\u00ebnte!\u201d <\/p>\n
Al het die pandemie veroorsaak dat die vereniging nie ten volle kon floreer nie sit hulle nou behoorlik skouer aan die wiel.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns doel is om \u2019n platform vir kunstenaars aan te bied waar hulle nie net \u2019n kans sal kan kry om hulle werk aan die publiek bekend te stel nie, maar waar hulle ook meer vaardighede sal kan aanleer en raad ontvang sou dit nodig wees,\u201d s\u00ea Petra Stig-lingh.<\/p>\n
Maar dis nie net die Kouga-kunsvereniging wat alles in hulle vermo\u00eb doen om kunstenaars in die omgewing by te staan nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie kunstenaars word ondersteun deur verskillende entiteite wat hulle ten doel stel om nuwe lewe in die kunsgemeenskap te blaas,\u201d s\u00ea Stiglingh.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie Kouga-vereniging in samewerking met Palette Art wat al 21 jaar bestaan en aan verskeie kunstenaars in die omgewing behoort en my galery, die Petra Stiglingh-galery wat in 2015 sy deure geopen het, sal ons kunsopvoeding verskaf en soveel moontlik kunstenaars daarby betrek.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy Palette Art waarvan die plaaslike kunstenaar Dave Rossouw die langste reeds lid van is, word daagliks klasse in water- en akrielverf en journaling<\/span> deur Liezel de Lange aangebied en op \u2019n Woensdag is daar \u2019n Paint-along<\/span> waar almal kan saam verf wat gewoonlik groot pret is.\u201d<\/p>\n In die Petra Stiglingh-galerye kan besoe-kers Stiglingh se eie kunswerke asook die van verskeie ander professionele kunstenaars soos Est\u00e9 Mostert, Johan Coetzee, Kobus Hanli, Isabel le Roux, Frans Claerhout, Anton Benzon, Anton Pienaar en Attanacio Mupanganye besigtig. <\/p>\n Kunstenaars hoef ook nie na een van die groter stede te reis om gehalte produkte vir hulle kunsprojekte aan te koop nie.<\/p>\n Daar word verskillende soort ho\u00eb gehalte verf, potlode, penne, kwaste, papier en kunsboeke sommer by die Petra Stiglingh-kunsgalery in die Fountains-inkopiesentrum te koop aangebied.<\/p>\n Gedurende die langnaweek van 24 tot 26 September 2021 word Part Of The Heritage \u2013 Celebrations At The Mall \u2019n groep-kunsuitstalling in die ou Teater (Old Cinema) in die Fountains-inkopiesentrum in Jeffreysbaai aangebied. <\/p>\n Kunswerke van lede van die vereniging sowel as nie-lede (enige kunstenaar uit die Kouga-distrik) sal uitgestal word.<\/p>\n Skakel Petra Stiglingh by 072 388 8738 om aan die uitstalling deel te neem of vir meer inligting daaroor. <\/p>\n Besoek die Kouga-kunsvereniging by www.kougaartsociety.co.za<\/span> en Palette Art by 083 395 6163 vir inligting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DIE pragtige
