Kim Sacks Gallery

Reviewed By KevinC601 - Greater Johannesburg, South Africa

The unusual mud styled facade faces Jan Smuts and behind its tall gate is a treasure trove of most beautiful things. Kim, a really brilliant ceramicist, has curated the very best crafts available in South Africa. My suggestion is to set aside at least an hour to fully appreciate all the items in the various rooms, amazing fabrics from Africa, stunning contemporary and ethnic jewellery (look out for the loom made Marigold beads) to ceramics of all kinds. Highly recommend a visit!

Reviewed By Benjamin_Mitchley - Centurion, South Africa

An art gallery with a difference. A lovely atmosphere with 3 exhibiting spaces which offers regular group and solo exhibitions, art workshops, custom framing and a deck restaurant which serve a variety of delicious homely meals with friendly service. We were welcomed by Miekie Lourens and Johann van Heerden on our first visit in May 2018 and we've been back for regular visits. As an artist wanting to exhibit my artwork, I was welcomed to the gallery in a friendly manner. A definite frequent place to visit.

Everard Read Gallery

Reviewed By TennilleG - Johannesburg, South Africa

My favourite thing to do once a month on a Saturday is to visit the Keyes art mile and see what is happening at all the galleries, Everard Read being the oldest of these and also one of my favourites. All of the galleries in this node are very small, but you could easily spend a morning walking from one to the other and stopping for a bite to eat at one of the trendy restaurants along the way. Their exhibitions usually feature local & contemporary artists that are always thought provoking and of excellent world class quality regardless of medium.

Alice Art Gallery

Alice Art Gallery is much more than just an art gallery, it is a feel good place, where you can relax and forget about your daily cares, while enjoying a cup of tea in our wonder world, the maize in the garden, Cafè d' Art and a Shop called Alice. We believe our customers are drawn to the gallery for its large variety of art displayed. The gallery has recently expanded to over 1000 sqm wall to wall art.

Beautiful gem in the joburg countryside. Had a peaceful meander through the small but quaint galleries and garden. Warm gracious staff make for a lovely outing.
