Soweto Fine Art Gallery

About Soweto Fine Art Gallery

Soweto Fine Art Gallery is an esteemed cultural institution physically situated at 19Br along the R512 Pelindaba Road in Broederstroom. Established in 1996 by founder Martin G. Britz, it holds the prestigious title of being the oldest specialist Black fine art gallery in South Africa. It serves as the official global hub and home for the internationally recognized Soweto School of Art, representing an elite group of 28 historic and contemporary Black African fine artists whose collective works span from 1960 to the present day. For travelers exploring the Cradle of Humankind or the Magaliesberg corridor, this gallery provides a rare, museum-quality detour to view and purchase highly significant African investment art and fine art prints. Visitors should note that the venue focuses heavily on historical preservation and art publishing/auctions rather than functioning as a casual craft market. It makes for an incredibly enriching cultural stopover that sits comfortably alongside nearby heritage sites like the Lesedi Cultural Village.
