2. Interactive Street Art project launching
After last year’s call for proposals with the Knysna Art Society, today we finally hosted the launch and sod-turning ceremony with our Executive Mayor and relevant Councillors at Judah Square, the initial site preparing to host the installation of one in a series of interactive street art forms. A press release will be shared next week and more details will be unveiled as we progress with the roll-out of this project that will see the development of the Art & Culture route, creating awareness for the many talented artists and makers living amongst us.

We have shared a template with our stakeholders to participate in the “Kids Stay Free” promotional campaign that Wesgro is currently sponsoring with Travelstart. The success of this campaign has been fantastic for other regions, so we need to ensure that we have our share of products on offer too. Please note that you can stipulate what your offer includes or excludes (- examples could be: whether kids are U 12 or U 8 / whether they can or cannot have breakfast for free / if they pay for a boat outing that includes catering, the kids get a free cold drink and burger – i.e you stipulate what you are offering.) Please note that this offer is not limited to accommodation/stay, activities can be offered too. Click here to complete the template
