Warm regards
Mary Faure and the FynArts Team

Hermanus FynArts has reached a new milestone with the establishment of the FynArts Development Fund in 2015. The long-term aim is to establish a School of the Arts for the Overstrand in Hermanus. In the shorter term the aim is to widen audiences at concerts and at workshops to include people who for socio-economic reasons, or because of disablity, are not able to take part in the festival. This fund will be used to subsidise tickets for concerts, workshops and demonstrations, as well as to offer special arts educational events. For more information click here.

Hermanus FynArts would like to thank our sponsors for their continued support.

Hermanus Tourism and the FynArts Team look forward to welcoming you to the festival in June. For a list of Featured Accommodation, Restaurants and Activities, click here.
