The Kouga Art Society

“To promote art awareness and art appreciation focusing on the visual arts in all its formats in the Kouga area”.

With the large number of artists, professional and amateur, in the larger Kouga area, it was with the inspiration of some of the Gallery owners, that local artist in the community were invited to an exploratory meeting on the 7th of March, 2020. .. to discuss the formation of a more formal structure to support artists. The meeting was attended by more than 40 artists, with apologies from another 15, giving the meeting a substantial support base from the word Go! The decision to form an Art Society for Artists and Galleries, was agree to and the KOUGA ART SOCIETY (KAS) was formed with an executive committee elected to drive the ambitious projects into the local community. The KAS set itself the goal, which was supported by the quorum of artists in the meeting.
Since the inaugural meeting, many actions have taken place to promote the work of artists in the region. The list of artists have grown over the last 3 years, with exhibitions, workshops and courses. We have artists in the Kouga region who are highly esteemed in their areas of focus, air brush, oils, water colour, pastels, acrylics, pen/pencil drawing, photography, mixed media, metal works, sculpture, glass works, fibreglass works and fabric art.  From this can be seen that the Kouga region has been blessed with significant talents combined with a holiday destination for local and international visitors.
Artists are already exhibiting their precious and talented creations in multiple galleries, shops and restaurants within the Kouga area.
