KZNSA is excited to announce the theme of this year’s BUZZART21 as CARE. As the world seeks to heal from the trauma of Covid-19, it has never been more important that we care for ourselves, each other, our communities and our planet.

The KZNSA invites proposals for the widest interpretation of this theme as we enter a season of gifting, generosity and support of local livelihoods. Think self-care, organic and biodegradable products, earth friendly cosmetics, small batch confectionary and sustainable design practices. It has been a time of great uncertainty for local design and craft practitioners and the festive season is a chance to recover and rebuild. We encourage submissions that reflect a global shift toward ethical consumption and meaningful gifting as acts of caring. The simplest gift is enhanced by the consciousness and care with which an item/object is designed, manufactured, packaged and finally wrapped for gifting.

We will also curate a pre-loved collection, with attention to a circular economy aimed at eliminating waste. Donations or consignments of unwanted quality goods, previously loved art and craft, freshly laundered clothing and homeware (in working condition) are welcome. Please email ashaw@kznsagallery.co.za for an appointment to bring in consignment stock for review; please also note that unsuitable donations will be passed on to HOLAH.

KZNSA welcomes product that is locally produced, handmade, artisanal, one of a kind, designed with care and attention to detail. Details for delivery and drop off of stock will be announced shortly.
