On the first Thursday of every month, two of Joburg’s art neighbourhoods open their doors late. The Melville Art Mile is the looser option: galleries, artist studios and neighbourhood spaces open from 16:00, and you move between them at your own pace.
From 17:00, Keyes Art Night in Rosebank keeps things compact along Keyes Avenue, with new exhibitions, a hands-on Makers’ Table, good food, drinks and conversation.
Do one, or start in Melville and finish in Rosebank. The basic route is free, with some extras ticketed.
