TAPESTRY OF TIME

The theme for the inaugural year (from October 2024 to September 2025) is "Tapestry of Time" and curated by Clara Babette of Our Leeskamer Gallery .

This exhibition delves into the deep geological eras that have shaped the river landscape and the town of Stellenbosch. It explores the progression of events along the river - from the past into the future - highlighting the unidirectional flow of time and the significance of memory in shaping human perception.

The exhibition highlights the works of both emerging and established artists, providing a platform to showcase a wide range of creative talent.

Artists were invited to engage with the distinctive landscape, history, and design of the area, fostering a dialogue with the surrounding communities and the urban environment.
