Grounded Art

Cape Town

Where the city's art lives.

Every gallery, exhibition, and opening in one place, kept current.

The atlas

See where art lives across the city.

One map of Cape Town's galleries, from the City Bowl to Woodstock and the Atlantic Seaboard. Find the spaces near you, see what is showing, and plan a day of it.

Only real, physical galleries become points on the map, so it stays a map you can actually walk.

Cape Town's art scene, finally gathered in one space.

One place, not fifty tabs

Galleries, events, and posts live together here instead of being scattered across separate accounts and feeds. You stop hunting and start looking.

Current, not from last year

Information and images are refreshed often, so what you see reflects what is open and on now, not a listing that went stale three seasons ago.

A bright gallery interior hung with contemporary work.

For galleries and artists

Be found by people looking for exactly this.

If you run a gallery, curate a space, or make work in Cape Town, we would love to feature you. Tell us who you are and we will be in touch.

We only use your email to talk to you about being featured on Grounded Art, in line with POPIA. We will not share it, and you can ask us to remove it at any time.

Human and local

Made by people, not an algorithm.

Grounded Art is put together by hand, by people who go to the openings and know the spaces. It is built on real relationships with Cape Town galleries and artists, not scraped and forgotten.
