ArtSpace Warehouse

Artspace Warehouse is a satellite gallery of Artspace, a contemporary fine art gallery based on Rosebank Johannesburg. The Warehouse, launched in 2009 was designed to be a salon space presenting an ever changing array of works stocked by the gallery.

However due to demand from artists for exhibiting space, and from the public in the area, the Warehouse will now also be opened to once again host exhibitions.

This saw the development of the Artspace Warehouse concept. The gallery's former location at 3 Hetty Avenue in Fairland has been refurbished to offer a new venue that will be used for select exhibitions, launches and events hosted by Artspace but is also available for hire for other functions.

The satellite venue is now open to artists looking to exhibit their work to a public audience or engage in large scale projects.

Following the recent trend of galleries opening 'project rooms', Artspace has decided to use its Warehouse to allow artists a broader scope to experiment or mount more experimental works. The works exhibited here will also appeal to a broader audience, with more variety for the private collector.

Says curator, Teresa Lizamore, "We are moving toward building a core group of contemporary artists at our main space in Rosebank, and working with them regularly in the longer term. We therefore have limited space to show new artists or engage with artists we haven't worked with in the past. The warehouse allows us to offer exhibitions to these artists and see how their work does in a public platform with a view to exploring future opportunities."

Artspace is proud to be supported by the following sponsors and associates:
