Art Galleries in Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth is a reasonably small city with a big heart. Here you will find the madness of down-town areas, the calm tranquility of beaches,lush countryside a short drive outside of the city and a sort of middle-ground between the two. Crafts are readily available in many different parts of the city, but it is really the art galleries you want to visit if you are searching for some good art.
The King Georges VI Art Gallery and the neighboring Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum are a great place to start. While the gallery tries to keep up to date the latest names and trends in art, regularly hosting refreshing exhibitions and showcasing well-known artists, the Art Museum provides an insightful look into the artistic history of the city. There are a number of other, minor art galleries in Port Elizabeth while a short drive to the nearby towns of Craddock or Grahamstown will also allow you to feast on the artistic talents of people from the Eastern Cape. So why not visit these galleries and discover their potential to shock, amaze and delight for yourself?
