The Wavescape Surf and Ocean Festival once again presents the Art Board Project, which sees 11 local artists transform wooden boards into works of art.

Each board is crafted by the youth involved with the 9 Miles Project, an upliftment organisation that uses surfing as its main tool.

Artists involved in the Art Board Project include Ruby Swinney, Eric Karangwa, Sue Williamson, Chris Slabber, Paul Senyol, Kirsten Beets, Swain Hoogervorst, Andrew Sutherland, Chris Soal, Lionel Smit and Brett Murray.

The adorned boards are currently on exhibition at Jack Black’s Taproom (10 Brigid Road, Diep River) and the boards will be auctioned off on Wednesday 28 November 2019 to raise money for ocean-related charities.

This year, artists Kirsten Sims, Liza Grobler, Brett Murray, Jenna Barbe, Marti Lund and Chris Auret, Beezy Bailey, Alexis Aronson, Jake Aikman, Lionel Smit and Andrzej Urbanski have collaborated with Wavescape to each create a one-off artwork on a surfboard.

The exhibition is open to the public from 9am until late at Jack Black Brewery. Doors open at 7pm on 28 November, with the auction starting at 8pm. Jack Black Brewery is located at 10 Brigid Road, Diep River, Cape Town.
