We are very pleased to announce that Oakhill Prep students will be exhibiting their art at the upcoming Knysna Arts Festival which will be hosted from 1-9 October 2016 by Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty. This is the second consecutive year of the festival which is underpinned by the philosophy of stimulating locally-produced art whilst also supporting the greater Knysna community and numerous charitable organisations.
Our students’ exhibition will be on display during the course of the festival at Woodmill Walk … The HUB where much of the festival takes place. If you would like more information on the festival, please visit: http://knysnaartsfestival.co.za/.
Festivities kick off on 1 October with an opening gala evening and continue through the week where visitors will be treated to a host of art displays, workshops, performances, talks and exhibitions – there will literally be something for everyone.
