Happy Birthday Drakenstein Art Society / Kunsvereniging!






We are one year old this month and have survived despite the world's economic problems. In fact, we are now more creative than ever as we are forced to look to alternative ways to live our creative dream. This blog is a showcase of the work of our members and will also be used as a communication tool between members.

The photographs were taken during 2008 at our monthly gatherings. Members are requested to post photos of their most recent work and should indicate whether it is for sale.
