De Rust Kreatief Collectif was started by a group of local artists, musicians, crafters and performing arts enthusiasts. The need for a place to get together, have exhibitions, workshops, shows, etc. arose after a very successful exhibition and other events in 2019. When a venue became available early in 2020 members formed a co-op, contributing monthly towards the expenses.
The centre, now known as the ArtBeat Centre, became the home of Kreatief Collectif. We had a very successful opening in March, but shortly afterwards the lockdown was implemented and we had to close our doors. Undeterred, Kreatief Collectif decided to reopen the centre on Wednesday 24 June. Given lockdown regulations, there won’t be a grand opening for now, but we’re planning an exhibition and more for later in the year, when lockdown permits.

Sadly the magazine folded during 2020 but back issues can still be found in guesthouses and second-hand bookstalls, so keep your eyes peeled!
