August House

August House is a thriving creative hub in Johannesburg’s inner city, home to over 40 independent, pan-African contemporary artists in private studios. Known as “The Artists’ Playground,” this five-storey building fosters artistic innovation, collaboration and cultural exchange. Originally a 1940s industrial warehouse, it has evolved into a inspiring space where artists create, exhibit and engage with the broader art community. August House also hosts open studio events, exhibitions and residency programmes, making it a cornerstone of Johannesburg’s visual arts scene.
