The Young Artists' Project | 22 August 2025

The KZNSA is proud to host the RMA Young Artists’ Project Exhibition (YAP). Initiated in 2002, by then KZNSA curator Storm Janse van Rensburg @stormjvr. The Young Artists’ Project ‘came out of a desire to create some kind of energy around young artists in the city, to get an ecosystem going around young artists, along with the writing workshop with young writers’

This iteration of the YAP promises bold experimentation, pushing boundaries and spotlighting socially relevant discourse. The exhibition will officially open on Friday 22 August, 2025.
