My first experience with Art studios was very interesting. My friends and I learned a lot and saw a lot of beautiful, haunting, thoughtful and crazy art. Definitely going back soon

Important space for contemporary art practice in Johannesburg, South Africa and the larger African context. Hosts talks, exhibitions, residencies and open studios with artists, curators and creatives from across the continent.

I've been to a considerable amount of events here, exhibitions, studio visits, their annual sale night/collectors evening. It's a great place to be. Make sure you check it out. The only downside is that Bag Factory is located in a sketchy part of Newtown, so just stay alert if you are walking
