Afrikaanse in-set van artikel:
"Die Kunskwatier, 'n splinternuwe projek by die ABSA KKNK in 2011, bied aan feesgangers die geleentheid om die spektrum van visuele kuns in Suid-Afrika direk by kunstenaars of gevestigde galerye aan te koop. Uitstallings word in die hartjie van die feesaktiwiteite en die boomryke middedorp met sy historiese geboue en restaurante aangebied, asook by kunsgalerye in die omgewing - onder meer in De Rust, Calitzdorp en die pragtige Kruisrivier."
English version - KKnK Official Website:
"In a bold new step to represent the full spectrum of visual art in South Africa, 2011 sees the launch of the Art Quarter at the Absa KKNK (Klein Karoo National Arts Festival).
In addition to the established curated exhibitions, where the country's top contemporary artists are featured, the Art Quarter now offers artists an unique opportunity to exhibit their art at what remains one of South Africa's premier art events. The Absa KKNK continues to draw a huge audience of theater and music fans, with a substantial number of discerning visitors that collect art. It is with this target market in mind that the Art Quarter is being facilitated.
The Art Quarter consists of two sections. The first section is situated in the heartbeat of the festival activities, but toward the restaurant area of leafy avenues, this trendy yet relaxed part of town contains many historical buildings suited to art exhibitions. Over the years this area has organically become the haven of independent solo exhibitions by leading artists. These artists have enjoyed success and are excited by the prospect of developing the Art Quarter into a fine art fair within the national arts festival. The second section takes you to galleries in the vicinity of Oudtshoorn, De Rust and Calitzdorp."
