Daar is geen definisie om kuns te omskryf nie en soos die spreekwoord sê: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Wat een mens as kuns ag, mag die ander mens gemors ag. Wanneer ons dus die “hogere” kuns uit die oog laat, poog ons by die Gariep Kunstefees om ‘n kunsmark daar te stel wat ‘n verskeidenheid van genres insluit. Of jy skilder, beeldhouwerk, keramiekwerk, brei, houtwerk, kruisiesteek, of wat ookal doen wat jy ag handvlyt of kuns te wees, wil ons graag van jou hoor.
Op watter tipe items fokus ons in ons kunsmark by die Gariep Kunstefees? Wat is die kriteria waarvolgens ons kuns en kwaliteit beoordeel? Hoe onderskei ons tussen “goed” en “nie goed” nie? Die oorsprong van die produk is baie belangrik en speel `n groot rol by die keuringsproses. Produkte moet getuig van oorspronklikbheid, self-ontwerp en verkieslik selfvervaardig wees deur die kliënt. Die fees wil graag selfwerksaamheid bevorder en entrepreneurskap aanmoedig en wil daardeur Suid Afrikaanse produkte en vervaardiging ondersteun. Die Gariep Kunstefees het nie `n vlooimarkarea nie en kan dus nie massa-vervaardigde produkte en vlooimark items toelaat nie. Dit is gebruiklik en geldig vir ons om die oorsprong van `n produk te bevraagteken. Ons behou ook die reg voor om produktipes te beperk om ooraanbod te verhoed.
Vanjaar beoog ons om `n KUNSMARK, wat kuns- en handwerkprodukte insluit, daar te stel wat aan ‘n ieder en elk iets besonders sal bied en ‘n lus vir die oog, en beursie, sal wees. Raak dus kreatief, rol op die moue, en kom stal jou ware uit by die grootse fees in die sentrale binneland.
There are not enough words to give an adequate definition for art; as the saying goes: “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.” What one person considers art, another person may consider junk. Sometimes the Gariep Arts Festival seems to ignore “classic” art forms, but we only aim to present an art market which includes a variety of genres. Whether you are painting, sculpturing, do ceramics, knitting, woodwork, cross stitch, or whatever you think would qualify as arts or crafts, we would like to hear from you.
On what type of items do we focus at our art market at the Gariep Arts Festival? What is the criteria by which we judge the quality of art products? How do we distinguish between "good" and "not good"? The origin of the product is very important and plays a major role in the selection process. Products must show innovation, be self-designed and preferably be hand-made by the customer. The festival would like to promote self-employment, encourage entrepreneurship and support South African products and self manufactured products. The Gariep Arts Festival does not have a flea market area and thus cannot allow mass-produced goods and flea market items. It is customary and valid for us to inquire about the origin of a product. We reserve the right to restrict certain types of products to prevent an oversupply.
This year we aim to present an ART MARKET which includes arts and crafts products that will appeal to each and everyone’s unique taste not forgetting that it should be a feast for the eyes and your wallet. Be creative, roll up your sleeves and display your arts and crafts ware at the biggest festival in the central interior of South Africa. -
