By order of the MMC in conjunction with OHASA and Risk Management, the Johannesburg Art Gallery will be closed until further notice. We all feel that the conditions are not safe for the public and our beautiful collection. We will release an official statement from the City of Joburg as soon as possible.

There are two key components that resulted in the closure: 1) The bad workmanship of the company hired by the JDA to fix the leaks 2) Copper theft (The roof is basically bare). It was practically raining in the Contemporary store and in electrical boards. Occupational health and safety found it was a dangerous situation for all involved. We will move the works to a safe location.
