Since its inception in 2013, Hermanus FynArts has grown into a vibrant, multi-format festival showcasing the very best in South African arts. The programme celebrates visual, performing, literary and culinary arts, while year-round activities support education, training and development initiatives in the greater Hermanus area.

With the generous support of sponsors, donors and attendees from across South Africa and beyond, Hermanus FynArts has become an established annual event on the cultural calendar.

The FynArts Development Fund extends this work throughout the year, promoting the arts through education and skills development, with a particular focus on youth initiatives. Through these programmes, FynArts seeks to create opportunities for young people to engage with the arts, develop creative skills and build confidence, while contributing to the cultural life and future of the wider Hermanus community.

FynArts is a registered NPO (174-582) and PBO (930070839), with the FynArts Development Fund as its principal beneficiary. As a community-focused festival, FynArts is committed to creating opportunities for artists, nurturing new audiences, encouraging participation and building meaningful partnerships that contribute to a thriving local creative economy.
