Become a Friend of FynArts
for the LOVE of the Arts
Becoming a Friend not only supports the festival as well as the arts and artists but also provides you with exclusive benefits.
We invite you become a Friend of FynArts for 2026 by contributing either R800 per couple or R500 for a single Membership.
Support the Festival
Your contribution will once again help us bring together a range of artists, presenters, musicians and performers. In this way we can ensure an enriching and stimulating programme for the widest possible audience.
Support the Community
Indirectly, you will also be supporting the FynArts Development Fund, the sole beneficiary of the festival. The main objective of the fund and its projects is to promote the arts through education, skills development
as well as creating opportunities for aspiring members of the community to showcase their talent and participate in the creative arts economy of greater Hermanus.
