NSA Gallery
The superb NSA gallery has taken up residence in the lush surrounds of Bulwer Park, and now houses not only three separate exhibition spaces, but an unusual gift shop and a restaurant as well. The new building, with its interplay of interior and exterior space makes this a perfect - and not to mention, highly popular - spot to soak up a little cafe culture. Lovers of art can now stroll through the main gallery, the mezzanine and photographic galleries, drool over the glittering array of arts and crafts goodies, or linger over a raspberry cheesecake and a cappuccino in the arts cafe. The gallery, one of the country's oldest, remains one of the strongest forces in Durban's art world. Many young artists have launched a fulfilling career at one of the KNSA fortnightly exhibitions. Besides providing a platform for local artists, the KNSA also has an extensive outreach programme.
