FYI_24.11.03 | WE’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A NEW PREMISES

The second incarnation of The Premises gallery finally sees the light of day as of January 01, 2004. Creatively directed and managed by independent artists’ lab The Trinity Session, a small piece of artworld history is being made with the launch of South Africa’s newest, multipurpose contemporary art space that will host so much more than exhibitions.

The Premises offers:
150 m2 interior space with 1&1/2 volume ceiling (4.5m high)
150 m2 outdoor terrace overlooking the Ameshoff Street piazza
secure underground parking with escalators up to the gallery
A captive audience: The Johannesburg Civic Theatre boasts a daily visitor count of over 1000 people

Made possible through the Braamfontein regeneration project that counts Sappi and the Johannesburg Civic Theatre as some of its proud stakeholders, The Premises is strategically located on the Braamfontein Theatre Precinct, part of Joburg’s Cultural Arc that begins in Newtown and ends at Constitution Hill. The Premises overlooks a landscaped piazza and is adjacent to the brand new studios of the South African Ballet Theatre – a complex for arts, culture and entertainment.

The Premises is one example of a successful collaboration between artistic vision and entrepreneurship and the latest addition to Johannesburg’s growing gallery infrastructure. Whether you’re an artist wanting to showcase new work, a curator or independent dealer with ideas for shows, a business executive looking for a space to facilitate professional playtimes, or anyone looking for a creative, contemporary venue, we want to hear from you.
