“The only real life is the collective life.” ~Auguste Comte

A creative hub where artists, enthusiasts, mentors, collectors, creators, explorers, visionaries and artisans converge, located in the dynamic heart of Joburg. 223 provides a literal and metaphysical space for the local art collective, endeavouring to foster new connections and further growth, innovation and collaboration, while upholding the highest standards of art and artistry.

Freshly conceptualised in 2023, 223 Jan Smuts offers a revolutionary approach to the nurturing, promotion and celebration of South African art, in all its expressions, by housing galleries, professional art services and various studios together, in an energetic hub of imagination, action and engagement – by us, for us.

Welcome to the collective.
