Arts-on-Main




I eventually got there...after months of having the name skim my consciousness. Arts on Main! So instead of spending a lazy afternoon at the park we ventured downtown to check it out. Its cutely quaint, and much smaller than expected...but I love the serene green courtyard feel. You can sit at a table sipping ice cold pineapple juice and feel secluded by the tree between you and the next Joe without feeling like your 'forced to eavesdrop'. The lush green grass, spacious art galleries, along with a generous helping of edgy books at David Krut make it an inner city sanctuary. I say bring on more city courtyard spaces...despite being a forest, Joburg still needs a spot of green to compliment the concrete in the CBD.
