The well-established Rust-en-Vrede Art Gallery showcases works of art by established and emerging artists. These exhibitions change monthly and are freely open to the public.

There are three exhibition spaces at Rust-en-Vrede. The main gallery consists of two rooms and are referred to as Salon A and Salon B.  Salon C is in the entrance room, which is a more informal space used for small solo- or group exhibitions.

Gallery Hours are Monday - Friday 09:00 - 16:30 and Saturday 09:00 - 14:00.

Artists who wish to exhibit at Rust-en-Vrede are requested to submit work and a short proposal to the Gallery Management.

The members serving on this committee are nominated at the Annual General Meeting in August. They meet monthly to assess new applicants for exhibitions with the curator. Local artist, Theo P. Vorster, is the chairperson of the Gallery Management.

Current Events and Exhibitions

Salon A & B

Theo Paul Paul Voster’s exhibition, FALLING FROM MY MIND,  opens on the 06 May and runs until the 27th May 2008 at the Rust-en-Vrede Gallery.

For this exhibition Theo has collaborated with well known ceramicist Diane Heesom-Green, who interpreted images of his work into paper clay sculptures. This resulted in wonderful, playful sculptures that will capture the audiences imagination. 

Theo Paul Vorster, renowned for his bright cheery and colourful prints, created a series of new linocuts. He made a limited number of prints, which he hand-colored by himself.  Theo Vorster will also be exhibiting and selling the original linocuts that have been  been hand-colored.

Salon C

Terselfdertyd open MARGUERITE BARKHUYSEN in Salon C met ‘n uitstalling getiteld padlangs. Tussen smal strate en om stil hoekies in die Ou Stad van Jerusalem, word nie een spasie werklik leeg gelaat nie…
