Over the past two decades, Cape Town<\/a> has become one of the most exciting centres for contemporary African art, drawing collectors, curators and the curious from around the world. From cavernous silos transformed into a contemporary museums to intimate spaces tucked into the side streets of Woodstock, the city\u2019s galleries are as diverse as the artists they champion. Take your time, look closely, and you\u2019ll see why Cape Town\u2019s art scene has become one of the most vibrant in the world\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZEITZ MOCAA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> skyline wouldn\u2019t be the same without the monumental concrete grain silos at the Waterfront \u2013 and inside them is the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa<\/a> (Zeitz MOCAA), the largest museum of its kind on the continent. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the building is a work of art in itself, the honeycomb windows spilling light into enormous, cathedral-like spaces. Across the nine floors, you\u2019ll find everything from Mary Sibande\u2019s larger-than-life figures to Athi-Patra Ruga\u2019s vibrant tapestries. There\u2019s also a range of rotating international exhibitions that keep things fresh and the rooftop sculpture garden is a highlight, framing Table Mountain in ways you\u2019ve never seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat<\/strong>: Stay put \u2013 the Silo Hotel\u2019s<\/a> Granary Restaurant is excellent and serves a variety of bites, whilst the rooftop bar and restaurant has panoramic views across the harbour and Table Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Norval Foundation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the foot of the Steenberg mountains, the Norval Foundation<\/a> is part gallery, part sculpture garden and part conservation project \u2013 and definitely worth a visit. With beautiful indoor and outdoor installations, it\u2019s all about slowing down, breathing in the crisp mountain air and letting your creativity flow\u2026 Inside, sleek, light-filled spaces showcase rotating exhibitions of the classic \u2013 William Kentridge\u2019s charcoal animations are a standout \u2013 to the contemporary, while outside, you\u2019ll find colossal bronze sculptures by Angus Taylor peering out from the fynbos. Plus, the Foundation\u2019s commitment to education and accessibility makes the whole experience even more meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat:<\/strong> The on-site restaurant, Grub & Vine<\/a>, serves fabulous seasonal plates alongside a sensational view of the gardens, or pop next door to Steenberg Farm for wine and tapas at Bistro Sixteen82<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Goodman Gallery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With roots stretching back to the 1960s and the anti-apartheid era, Goodman Gallery<\/a> has nurtured some of the continent\u2019s most important voices from photographers to political artists. Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> outpost, housed in a former convent in Green Point, mixes well-known names like William Kentridge and Lisa Brice with rising stars from across the continent and beyond. It\u2019s also where some of the country\u2019s most controversial exhibitions have played out (think Brett Murray\u2019s Hail to the Thief<\/em>), so don\u2019t expect to walk away unmoved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat:<\/strong> Head next door to Cucina, the gallery\u2019s Italian-inspired caf\u00e9, for a plate of homemade pasta or a glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cape<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WHATIFTHEWORLD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for the cool kids of Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> art scene, WHATIFTHEWORLD<\/a> is where you\u2019ll find them. Housed in a classic heritage building in the city centre, the gallery has a reputation for supporting \u2013 and catapulting into the limelight \u2013 some of South Africa\u2019s<\/a> most exciting young stars. In recent years, both Athi-Patra Ruga\u2019s fantastical textiles and Kudzanai Chiurai\u2019s impecabble collages have graced the walls, but whatever is on show, you\u2019re guaranteed something that\u2019s bold, witty and always thought-provoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat:<\/strong> Wander up to Bree Street, either to Sea Breeze<\/a> for oysters and a glass of bubbles in the sunshine, or Between Us<\/a> for a casual bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Everard Read<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cape Town<\/a> branch of South Africa\u2019s<\/a> oldest commercial gallery is as polished and slick as you might expect. Everard Read<\/a> first opened in Johannesburg<\/a> in 1913, and its Waterfront space (established in 1996) is now an icon of the city\u2019s art circuit. Inside, you\u2019ll find everything from glossy contemporary canvases to bold sculptures, all curated with collectors firmly in mind. But it\u2019s not all hush-hush seriousness \u2013 pop across to the CIRCA space next door or amble through the sculpture garden and you\u2019ll see why this century-old gallery still feels fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat:<\/strong> You\u2019re right by the Time Out Market<\/a> at the Waterfront, where Cape Town\u2019s best chefs and street food traders share one buzzing space with plenty of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blank Projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tucked into exactly the type of industrial building you might expect to find in Woodstock, Blank Projects<\/a> is less about pretty pictures and more about ideas. The gallery focuses on emerging and mid-career artists, with exhibitions that showcase art, politics and social commentary. Expect installations that make you think and conceptual works that surprise you \u2013 and don\u2019t surprised if you see the gallery\u2019s name at an art fair near you in the future! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee stop nearby:<\/strong> Try one of Woodstock\u2019s many caf\u00e9s for a cup of the good stuff \u2013 Espresso Lab<\/a> is a favourite for serious coffee lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cape<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SMAC Gallery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleek, minimal and achingly cool, SMAC<\/a> (Stellenbosch Modern and Contemporary) showcases South African and African contemporary art with an international edge. With its white walls, ceilings and floors, the art (literally) shines, whether it\u2019s a bold canvas, sculptural installation or a black and white photograph. SMAC really does have a knack for putting together exhibitions that feel relevant and exciting and often artists who are making waves in Europe and the US are spotlighted. If you\u2019re keen to see what\u2019s hot in African art right now, this is the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite or drink:<\/strong> Try Ouzeri<\/a> for Mediterranean flavours, then round off the evening with a cocktail at the Secret Gin Bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Southern Guild<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Less gallery and more wonderland of imagination and creativity, Southern Guild<\/a> is a place with serious ambition. Here, design meets art in spectacular fashion: ceramic thrones by Andile Dyalvane, fantastical seating pods by Porky Hefer, and collectible furniture that looks as though it belongs in a dreamscape. It\u2019s bold, beautiful, and proudly African, representing the continent\u2019s leading artists and designers at international fairs from Paris to Miami \u2013 and even if you\u2019re not shopping for a one-of-a-kind chair, a visit here will leave you buzzing with inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a bite to eat:<\/strong> You\u2019re right at the V&A Waterfront, so take your pick \u2013 Willoughby\u2019s<\/a> for sushi, Harbour House<\/a> for seafood with a view, or cocktails at one of the waterside bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
