First Thursday

Colour of life

📅 Thursday, 5 February 2026
🕙 6 PM

📍 Alliance Française du Cap, 155 loop street

Step into a journey of rediscovery, healing, and creative purpose through the work of Kenneth Alexander, a passionate artist who has returned to his practice after a 25-year hiatus. With brush in hand and heart fully engaged, Kenneth channels emotion, resilience, and lived experience into each piece, allowing art to become both expression and renewal.

Rooted in a deep commitment to community, Kenneth’s artistic path extends far beyond the canvas. Through his non-profit organisation, Art4Life, he uses art as a therapeutic tool to mentor and uplift vulnerable children and young people in Retreat, Steenberg, Capricorn, and Westlake. His work speaks to art’s power to heal, offering safe spaces where creativity becomes a language for processing trauma, building confidence, and imagining new possibilities.

A proud member of the Kunye Art Foundation, Kenneth has exhibited across Cape Town, sharing his work at platforms such as First Thursdays, at the Grand Daddy Hotel, the V&A Waterfront, and the Groot Constantia Art Exhibitions. Through exhibitions and hands-on workshops for children, young adults, and adults,Kenneth continues to foster creativity, resilience, and self-expression  nurturing not only artists, but a stronger, more connected next generation.

Join us for this special evening and step into Kenneth Alexander’s creative mindset, where art becomes a powerful tool for healing, purpose, and connection.
