We have, sadly, had to cancel the SASA “Art in the Park” for April 2021, due to the small number of participating artists. We shall, hopefully, have a better response closer to the end of the year, so we’ll see you then!
Hooray, we’re back!! We’ll be in Rondebosch Park on 21 November for Art in the Park. There are still spaces available, so if you’ve not yet booked yours, please see the latest SASA newsletter for details.
SASA’s final fixture for 2019 was the ever-popular, pre-Christmas Art in the Park, held on the 30th of November in Rondebosch Park.
It was a perfect day for it, sunny and warm, with the gentlest of breezes, to avert over-heating. A host of happy artists set up their stalls and got ready to welcome their customers.
There was a steady stream of people through the park all day, drinking in the plethora of paintings presented for their enjoyment. The array of varying styles, subject matter and media ensured that there was something special to suit everyone’s taste and the varying prices suited differing depths of pocket as well.
Between the shady avenues is a great place for meeting new friends and catching up with some old ones, the leafy shadows giving a very peaceful ambience to the scene.
Art in the Park is always the most vibrant event on the SASA calendar and enjoyed by all who take part. A lot of socialising happens throughout the day, the time passes quickly and our artists go home, tired perhaps, but content.
Enjoy your break everyone, have a good holiday and happy whatever you celebrate at this time of year. See you in 2020!!
Don’t forget the SASA Art in the Park on Saturday 30 November! In our usual venue – Rondebosch Park, on the corner of Sandown and Campground Roads, Rondebosch. A wonderful place to browse amongst stalls of beautiful art and get some Christmas shopping done.
30 November is the date for the very popular SASA pre-Christmas Art in the Park, which will be held, as usual, in Rondebosch Park – cnr Sandown and Campground Roads, Rondebosch. It’s a big park, so there’s plenty of space left, if you’ve forgotten to put your name down! For details, see the latest SASA newsletter.
Our final event for the year is Art in the Park on 30 November, in Rondebosch Park. Book your spot now by emailing Glenda at exhibitions@sasa-artists.co.za. See the SASA newsletter for more details.
Our second art in the park and final SASA exhibition for the year took place on 24 November at our usual venue, Rondebosch Park.
Here, on the corner of Campground and Sandown Roads, we have found the perfect home for this event – it is convenient for locals to stroll up, with their families in tow. It’s also very visible from the road, which attracts passing trade, swelling the number of our faithful followers, who come not only for the wonderful atmosphere, but in hope of a beautiful bargain or two as well.
We had a steady stream of customers throughout the day and good sales figures by the end of it – people making a day of it, lunching under the trees, ensuring our food vendors also had a good day and browsing around the stalls.
The beautiful space means that dogs can be included in the family outing – even more incentive to come and have a look!
Thanks to our team of organisers and all their hard work, that’s another satisfying and successful art in the park under our belts. See you next year!
On Saturday 24 November we will be in Rondebosch Park for the second “Art in the Park” for 2018. We’re looking forward to a great turn-out for a fun-filled day! See November newsletter for details.
Saturday 17 March was a perfect day for “Art in the Park” and Rondebosch Park was full of happy people – artists and their entourages, families of browsers and buyers – all enjoying the wonderful weather and colourful stalls.
Many new faces manned the art stalls – artists trying out Art in the Park for the first time – as well as all the familiar ones and our faithful food vendors did their usual roaring trade, with their various offerings catering to every palate.
There was something to keep everyone happy and entertained. While parents shopped for paintings, children danced to the music of our resident busker.
We had a surprisingly good turn-out, considering all the other events happening in and around Cape Town that day, with lots of sales and contacts made for future sales, so everyone went home satisfied.
Thanks to Adrian Larkin and his team, for a job well done.
The first SASA Art In The Park for 2018 will be held on 17 March at Rondebosch Park on Campground Rd. For more info, please see the latest newsletter. For bookings, please email our secretary, Liz Pearson at secretary@sasa-artists.co.za
