Hout Bay Gallery - Combining Tradition with Contemporary

The Hout Bay Gallery is situated in the coastal town of Hout Bay, which is a 20 minute drive from the Mother City, Cape Town. The Hout Bay Art Gallery was established in 1984, and concentrates on exhibiting works of local South African Artists, such as Glen Tong, Katharine Wood, and many others.

The artwork displayed by the Hout Bay Gallery, includes photography, paintings, etchings, sculptures and drawings. Additionally, the Hout Bay Gallery has introduced a new collection, which they have named “Art of Living”. This is a collection of contemporary modern art, consisting of both new and original antique furniture. The furniture is crafted out of a variety of wood and they also have Nuristan Afghan carpets, from hand spun wool and natural dyes on offer.

Hout Bay Gallery focuses on combining traditional art with more modern, contemporary pieces. An extensive range of art is on sale to the general public, and the gallery also specialized in exporting items abroad. The Hout Bay Galley has a relaxed, friendly, almost village like atmosphere, and warmly welcomes local and international travelers.

I am an artist/designer, who has lived in the UK for the last 12 years, but is looking to return home to SA. I was wondering if you could send me an email address, so I could send you samples of my work. Many thanks
