In August 2022 Pinnacle Point Arts and Culture Association of Mossel Bay began an incredible project to decorate a dull tunnel linking Pinnacle Point and the Mossel Bay Golf Club.
Crafted by the skilled hands of local artists and dedicated volunteers like Chrissie Olivier and Annemie Louw, the mosaic tunnel evolved into a history of the Mossel Bay area and South Africa. It has completed walls and they are working on the roof. It is an incredible masterpiece.masterpiece.
The 92-panel mosaic artwork decorating the tunnel walls stretches over an impressive 55 meters, and the tunnel serves as a gateway to the renowned Eden Bay Beach, beckoning adventurers and history enthusiasts alike to tread its path and explore.
The left wall of the tunnel stands as a testament to Mossel Bay’s past, paying homage to its diverse cultural heritage and key historical milestones. Emblems of national unity, such as the South African flag and the iconic figure of Nelson Mandela, find their place amidst depictions of the esteemed clubhouse and golf course. Modern Mossel Bay emerges alongside the district’s storied past, the legacy of Bartolomeu Dias, the Koi San Culture, the enigmatic Pinnacle Point Caves, and the ancient land of Gondwana.
On the right wall, a captivating representation of the Marine Lift in the Mossel Bay area comes to life, celebrating the marine wonders that grace the region’s coastline. Sea life in all its splendor, pristine beaches, and majestic whales create an awe-inspiring symphony of art. (Adapted trom TNP The Newspaper)
