💬 Why OSFHC?

“We’ve always admired Deep South Open Studios like those in Noordhoek and Kommetjie,” say the organisers. “Fish Hoek & Clovelly may have been known as a sleepy hollow, but that’s changing fast. It’s time to showcase the incredible talent that lives here and celebrate all this area is—and can become.”
