Blou Donki Art Gallery

About this gallery

Blou Donki Art Gallery — named with characteristic Free State charm after the humble blue donkey — is one of the most accessible and welcoming art galleries in Clarens. Situated in the Windmill Centre on Main Street, right on the heart of the village square, the gallery offers a thoughtfully curated selection of contemporary South African art that reflects the diversity and creativity of the country's artistic community. Expect to find oil paintings and watercolours capturing the sweeping landscapes and vibrant street life of South Africa, alongside ceramics, sculpture, photography and functional artworks. The selection spans a range of price points, making it equally appealing to serious collectors and first-time buyers looking for something original to take home. The gallery's convenient location within the cluster of Clarens' shops, restaurants and cafés makes it a natural stop on any walk through the village. Open six days a week, with extended hours on weekends.
