Everard Read

This art gallery is a true treasure—spacious, serene, and filled with a wide variety of artwork and handcrafted pieces. We went during the week, so it wasn't crowded at all, and entry is free. The staff at reception were friendly and welcoming. It's located in a safe area, which makes for a comfortable visit. The only downside is that photography and videos aren’t allowed inside, but it's still a beautiful and inspiring space well worth seeing in person.

Peaceful ☺️ beautiful artwork 🖼️ Free Entry ✨

Beautiful gallery space that has a beautiful feeling of being outside/inside. From entering the gates, you are met by the prettiest Giant Purple Bougainvillea tree you've ever seen, which is amazing to take pics next to. The entire space has a clean and quiet aesthetic, but not like a library. There's different outdoor spaces with different trees 😍 and sculptures, creating tiny oasises where you can take a minute if you're feeling overstimulated by the paints inside. I would suggest this specific gallery to anyone who wants to take the time to explore as the space is big, and there's a lot to explore 💛

Amazing experience, beautiful interior and so light inside 😍 Stylish place Thank you to manager George for welcoming atmosphere 🙏🏻

An immensely impressive place! The house itself is an architectural masterpiece. The art exhibition was stunning. Don’t forget to cross the street and visit the second part/house!! If you need some rest: there are some design coffee shops and restaurants.

Loved the space, indoors and out. Nice mix of artists and media. Especially liked the Nic Bladin plant/flower sculptures. Staff were wonderful.

The Everard Read Gallery is a gem to visit in Johannesburg. The art exhibitions are world class but the real treasures are the owners Mark and Christine whose passion for Africa’s beauty is so brilliantly evoked in the architecture and gardens they have created. Outstanding achievement!
