The last years have seen the development of Hermanus as a dynamic art destination gain momentum. Several new galleries opened, exhibitions are advertised everywhere, print media articles and web presence abound.

This excitement is flowing through to even the disadvantage communities as they sense the opportunities of tourism and the 2010 World Cup Soccer branding, grabbing the attention of most ambitious individuals. Be so kind and follow my Kwasa - Kwasa blogposts.

Patrick Chapman is the driving force behind the Arts Page in the Hermanus Times and The Philip Harper Galleries utilize the back page of the SA Art Times to advertise and drive feet to Hermanus.

Many artists are rising to these new opportunities, Tay Dall opened The Tay Modern, Shelley Adams and others are steadily building their profiles, and many younger ones might earn a living with their creative talents.
