😠 Very bad experience. The gate was open but the building seemed empty and locked. No welcome, no staff, no board saying the exhibt was close, nothing. I walked around the building to find someone in the office. I knocked and the window and was rudely told loadshedding, no hello sir, no sorry to infor... People often mention building, experience, time, beautiful,

    A very pleasant visit with some great pieces of art. Some interesting history of the house and about East London.

    Excellent. Peaceful, quiet and serene. It makes a lovely wedding venue. If you would like to engage in arts and crafts outdoors this place will do as well. It's free from distraction and disturbance. You may visit the gallery if you wish to view artworks every day except Sunday. Visit the gallery for more details

    Very bad experience. The gate was open but the building seemed empty and locked. No welcome, no staff, no board saying the exhibt was close, nothing. I walked around the building to find someone in the office. I knocked and the window and was rudely told loadshedding, no hello sir, no sorry to inform you but the power will be back at this time, he didnt even bother to get out of his chair he shouted at me from accross the room. Not to my suprise all the robots and street lights where working I even enquired at another business about the loadshedding and there was no loadshedding. Its almost as if the person was annoyed that I wanted to come and see the art. He was more worried about his phone than doing his job. Its quite sad to see as the building and complex with such rich with atmosphere and history being treated in such a way, the place does have alot of potential and would have been nice to see. But it has left a bitter experience for me.

    beautiful

  • 3/5 Jan T. 2 years ago on Google
    A large variety of pieces by many artists, but a seeming lack of funding leaves the space feeling empty, with so much potential offered by the well-maintained building as host. Small collection of art for sale. A 30min stop if you have time to kill.

  • 5/5 Kreating Insane Dreams D. 2 years ago on Google
    Heavenly every time I visit

  • 2/5 Lando K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit

  • 2/5 Tessa R. 2 years ago on Google
    Art works housed in a lovely old building that is looking very sad. The artwork encompasses a broad selection of South African artists but they too look like they are falling into disrepair in the uncontrolled and hot conditions. Judging by the alarming library of jumbled books not enough care is being taken of the art. Yet again it seems to be dwindling resources.

  • 5/5 Andile T. 2 years ago on Google
    The artworks there are amazing. But I would love to see the artist or the gallery to give a small paragraph on what the artworks mean. Reason being I'd like to get some background on the artist's artwork when they not there to explain.

    I always enjoy the various exhibitions, exposure to local art, the beautiful buildings, and the talks by Barry Gibb. All round a feel-good experience. Cheri Lyon

    I have gained more about art. Things that I was not aware about. My daughter is an artist I still want to know more so as to support her.

  • 1/5 Susan S. 5 years ago on Google
    Being neglected. Very little interesting or good artworks

  • 5/5 Denver B. 7 years ago on Google
    I needed to get some paintings valued and Leon du Preez, the Curator of the Gallery, invited me around and took his time to value the pictures. It was also a pleasant time spent there as I got to wonder around and learn a little history.

  • 5/5 Cindy F. 6 years ago on Google
    The Ann Bryant brings a reprieve from the mundane by hosting exhibitions of our fantastic local artists.

    Old and new art in a quirky historic building. Worth a visit after the museum.

  • 3/5 Aphiwe R. 4 years ago on Google
    I did not hate it but it was not my cup of tea either. The building is tidy and beautiful, the art is interesting but I am more of the abstract art so that I can make up my mind about what I am seeing. It is in a quiet location. I have not ordered anything yet

    Exceptional art work. Unexplored gem of East London. Worth visiting. Met Thembe, a bright young artist. Was happy to witness two of his brilliant art pieces, listen to his interpretation and share ideas. Good luck to him. He has a bright future.
