Fynarts Festival Hermanus - @Home shows
Dear FynArts Supporters
The first week of FynArts Select 2020 has arrived and we hope you will enjoy this extended programme of selected @ home events adapted from our original 2020 programme. As we all now tend to spend a great deal of time looking at our screens, we will limit our events to not more than one on any day.
We are deeply grateful for the support and encouragement of FynArts participants who have embraced the possibilities of this new-format Select programme. Details, including biographies, invitations to Zoom events or links to pre-recorded events will be sent before the event.
Warm wishes
Mary and the FynArts team

Fynarts Festival in Hermanus for 2020 is postponed to 2021
Dear FynArts Supporters - (news letter of 4th May, 2020)
While FynArts 2020 is cancelled in its present form as we announced in March, 2020, we are pleased to report progress on our plans to continue to work closely with performers, artists and other partners to develop creative ways to offer some of the cancelled events in the months ahead.
We are soon to officially launch Hermanus FynArts Select 2020 – a programme of selected virtual and weekend events during the rest of 2020 aimed at keeping in touch and bringing you news of the artists, performers and presenters on this year’s excellent programme.
During the festival dates of 5 – 16 June, 2020, we plan to offer selected events via both recorded and live-streaming and, as soon as possible thereafter, present a few stimulating and uplifting weekends of FynArts Select. More information about dates and content will follow once the future is a little clearer.
On 1 May, 2020, we will make the final decision as to whether the Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award will go ahead this year. If so, new dates for submission and judging will be announced. The exhibition is always taken down at the end of September when the barrels are filled with new wine. We therefore need to take this into consideration.
Should we need to cancel the 2020 competition, "Biomimicry", the theme will be repeated for 2021. This topical and relevant theme encourages artists to think about what we can learn from nature to solve human challenges – with a focus on sustainability, resilience and regeneration. This timeous topic was chosen by Peter Finlayson.
Exhibitions will go ahead during the festival dates, or as soon as allowed thereafter. Artists are hard at work during the lockdown.
Says thread artist Lesley Jurgens: “… lots and lots of machine and hand stitching to do – seems like it’s evolving from cracked earth to stone henge – by the time I’m finished it will be something else. All part of the process.”
Pioneer Freight Sculpture on the Cliffs and its artists, will be the topic of our next newsletter.
Onward and upward together.
Warmest wishes
Mary Faure
Festival Director

Hermanus Fynarts Festival 2016 - bringing art, music, food and wine to warm up winter this -
June 10th to 19th, 2016 The venues for Hermanus FynArts showcase the wide range of what Hermanus has to offer, from local art galleries and church halls in the town centre to wine farms up the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. One of the highlights of Hermanus FynArts is the Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Tondo Competition exhibition in the cellar of the Bouchard Finlayson wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Selected work is displayed on the heads of barrels newly filled with wines pressed from grapes harvested in late February and March. The 2015 innovation of acknowledging the contribution of one country to the arts as well as to the South African way of life will continue through the 2016 programme. French will be the fine thread that runs through the events, from talks to demonstrations; from art to food and wine; and from the contribution of individuals and milestone events.

Hermanus FynArts Festival 5th to 16th JUNE, 2015
FynArts Festival of Hermanus -
5th to 16th JUNE, 2015
Celebrate local art with twelve mind-blowing days jam-packed with exhibitions, workshops and performances.
WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO AT THE 2015
Hermanus FynArts 2015 will once again bring you an eclectic mix of arts, with a focus on the visual arts – exhibitions, films, music recitals, concerts, talks, workshops, demonstrations, tastings and pairings, dinners and more.
In addition to a long line-up of new faces, as well as those we will welcome back to Hermanus, expect a couple of new and exciting twists to the programme.
In recognition of the diverse origin of immigrants and their contribution to the South African way of life and the arts scene, future Hermanus FynArts festivals will include a fine thread that runs throughout the festival and connects the eclectic mix of South African arts to one other country. In 2015 the first of these associations will be introduced with the Italian Connection. This means that the programme will include a number of events that acknowledge Italy and Italian culture: art, music, food and wine.
Other events that you will hear a lot more about are a Pop-up Festival Kitchen with twice daily demonstrations, a music premiere and a gala dinner to be held at the magnificent Bona Dea – a brand new events venue on an orchid and protea farm in the Hemel en Aarde Valley.
