Woodstock is one of Cape Town’s oldest suburbs and the hub of South Africa’s major contemporary artists, art galleries and art studios. A gritty, creative, residential area close to the City Centre, its must-see highlights include the Old Biscuit Mill, a neighbourhood food and design market, WHATIFTHEWORLD a former synagogue, now a fully established art gallery, the Woodstock Exchange, a former industrial building, now a nerve centre of hipster activity, with shops by artists, photographers, fashion designers, film directors, traders, and more.

At the City Centre, visit a variety of galleries, including South Africa’s premier art gallery, the Iziko South African National Gallery. Contemporary art galleries include AVA (Association of Visual Arts) South Africa’s first arts society, Smith, Chandler House, Ebony Curated, State of the Art and more.
