Artist Ryno Eksteen grew up in Heidelberg on the Diepkloof farm. As part of the Hessequa Art Collection he did a painting of the old farmstead in 20218.
At the yearly Starnation Art Studio Heidelberg Group exhibition in 2018 he gifted this painting to the municipality. What made this extra special was that the current inhabitants were also part of the evenings activities.
