Noordhoek Art Point is making waves this November

Noordhoek Art Point’s first ‘Wave Art' group exhibition is opening soon. Between 4 and 28 November you can pop in to see the works of 10 talented artists inspired by the power of the ocean.

Join us on 4 November, 17:30 for the exhibition opening. Find us at 16 Noordhoek Main Rd, Sunnydale.

The magnificence of water movement has captured the imagination of many an artist whose desire it is to interpret this fluid, and at times mystical, energy in their own way. Now, from illustrations to oils, ink to charcoal, you can view a diverse selection of art exploring this theme.

Why waves?

Aside from the fantastic surfing opportunities the valley has to offer, Noordhoek is known for a few spectacular - and quite famous - big wave surfing spots. So, you can see why we have a special love of waves!?
