For residents eager to explore their artistic side, a new creative hub has opened its doors in Noordwyk.

Arts on the Move, a community-driven initiative, is offering vibrant Saturday art classes where learners of all ages can discover the joys of visual expression.

Hosted at 9 Kiaat Street, the programme runs every Saturday from 09:00 to 14:00.

Participants can experiment with painting, pencil drawing, pastels, charcoal, and mixed media, all in a supportive, hands-on environment designed to nurture creativity and confidence.

The project is the brainchild of Meshack Mashathi, a passionate visual arts teacher at Midrand Primary School. With years of experience inspiring young talent, Mashathi envisioned a platform that extends art education beyond the classroom and fosters cultural expression within the community.

“Art is more than just a skill – it is a way of expressing ideas, emotions, and culture,” said Mashathi.

“By running these classes, I aim to give learners in Midrand the chance to develop their creativity, confidence, and problem-solving abilities, while also encouraging art appreciation in our community.”

Arts on the Move is designed to show that art is not just a hobby but an essential part of education and personal growth.

Both children and adults are welcome, with parents often finding the sessions as enriching as their children.
