PRINCE ALBERT Open Studios: SUMMER EDITION 2023
2nd to 5th NOVEMBER 2023
9am to 5pm
35 Christina de Wit Street, Prince Albert
This delightful twice yearly art route, crammed with work by an eclectic mix of artists, is particularly enjoyable for both artists and visitors, as they get to engage in the personal studio spaces where all the magic happens. The Summer Edition of Open Studios has a distinct character. It often has fewer participants than the Winter one, so art lovers can visit studios at a more leisurely pace, in between enjoying the incredible surroundings and all the fab foodie spots in town.
This time, I am delighted to welcome wonderful sculptor Wehrner Lemmer back as my guest artist.

VISIT OUR SHOWROOM IN PRINCE ALBERT
After my husband and I relocated to Prince Albert in early 2019, we undertook a major renovation project on our new (but very old) home. Part of that involved turning our lovely old high-roofed Karoo clay and straw barn into an art/book showroom, which is now open by appointment.
We look forward to welcoming you here at 35 Christina de Wit Street, Prince Albert.
Phone 083 261 9671 for an appointment, or preferably Whatsapp, as our signal is pretty awful.
(N.B. The street numbers are not in sequence, but it is easy to find, being the first building on the left as you enter town from the Meiringspoort / Swartberg Pass side, directly opposite the historic old Mill).
A visit to the delightful Karoo town of Prince Albert, brimming with creatives and colourful characters, is always a treat. For art lovers and collectors, it gets even better, twice a year, when many of the local artists open their private studio spaces to the public for 4 days. In these hallowed spaces, some belonging to internationally known artists, you can find anything from ancient skills such as blacksmithing, calligraphy, woodcutting and etching, through a whole spectrum from paintings in oils, watercolours and acrylics, both traditional and contemporary, to sculpture and jewellery made from found objects, land art, ceramics, and even some steam-punk light fittings made from old Land Rover parts.
Stay a few days and look out for the colourful bunting and distinctive blue A-frame boards in front of various homes around town. Maps of the route are available from Prince Albert Art gallery and the Tourism office.
We look forward to welcoming you to our book and art showroom!
PRINCE ALBERT Open Studios: SUMMER EDITION 2022
24th to 27th November 2022
10h00-13h00, and 15h00-18h00
35 Christina de Wit Street, Prince Albert
This delightful twice yearly art route, crammed with work by an eclectic mix of artists, is particularly enjoyable for both artists and visitors, as they get to engage in the personal studio spaces where all the magic happens. The Summer Edition of Open Studios has a distinct character. It is less frenetic than the Winter Edition. Taking into account the weather, it allows for a slower pace, where the offerings at fewer studios can be savoured (a little akin to Karoo Slow Food, taking time to extract the best from the experience.) It also allows for a midday siesta, with renewed visits in the cooler late afternoons.
