ABOUT

GET READY FOR THE BIGGEST ARTS FESTIVAL in Johannesburg

28 & 29 May - 10:30am to 4pm


Joburg is one of the world’s art cities, fuelled by a network of studio spaces throughout the inner city that give life daily to the city’s status as an art capital. In May 2022 the doors will open to welcome visitors to the studios of close to 100 working artists. Initiated by the META foundation, OPEN STUDIOS JOBURG will highlight seven art buildings across the historical CBD and beyond where visitors will be invited to meet the artists, interact with the works, and enjoy a programme of exhibitions, walkabouts, performance and design. 


The sites are: August House, Bag Factory Artists’ Studios, Ellis House, Living Artists Emporium, LAPA at Breezeblock, Transwerke Studios and Victoria Yards.  


OPEN STUDIOS JOBURG will take place over two days, Saturday 28 May and Sunday 29 May, 2022 with selected studios being open on these two different days.


Please make sure that you book for the days you wish to attend.


The studios will be linked via a free shuttle service that will allow visitors to safely explore the city. Three shuttles will move in a loop between the buildings, with transport available every 15 minutes. Access to all events is FREE, but visitors must register for each venue that they wish to attend
