Art in Clarens

Art & Wine Gallery on Main in Clarens houses an exquisite collection of art by well-known artists and stock some of the best wines that the Cape has to offer.

Clarens has come under the spotlight recently as the new Art Mecca of South Africa with more visitors from Johannesburg flocking to the little country town in the Eastern Free State. The Gallery covering 439 square meters with beautiful mountain views was specifically designed in the Main street of Clarens to house an exquisite collection of art by well-known artists like Gregoire Boonzaier, J.H. The first and only Art and Wine Gallery in South Africa conveniently brings a piece of the Cape within a mere 3 hours drive from Johannesburg. We offer Art and Wine lovers the best opportunity in the Free State to experience the widest range of top quality wine and unique artwork by established artists at the best prices. An easy three to four hours’ drive from Johannesburg, Clarens has become the long weekend mecca of those after an arty, sleepy hollow with just enough entertainment not to be dull. The town that first enjoyed a revival when it became something of an artists’ haven during the early nineties is now premium second home property. There is no shortage of accommodation in Clarens in the form of guest houses, self-catering establishments, lodges and B&Bs in the area, and nature-loving activities in particular are what attract those who enjoy the great outdoors. There is horse riding, hiking, fly fishing, abseiling, white water rafting and golf.There are caves to visit, San paintings to explore, rocks to climb, and local restaurants offer live music over weekends. Many of the homes and buildings in Clarens are built using local sandstone, giving them a particular appeal. The Artists’ Amble is a route that takes in the local art galleries run by and supplied by local artists. And if none of these activities appeal, lay your hands on a copy of The Speckled Bean, the local community magazine for insider information.
