    This Gallery is overflowing with art. It does not just show the work of one artist at a time but keeps a ton of work by a whole lot of artists. There is a fair amount of sculpture on sale as well as some ceramics and glass. Outstanding work by Judy Woodborne and Tania Babb is on display. It's a great space, a little overwhelming but they clearly are doing something right as they have been on the map for many years.

    This quaint landmark gallery is perfectly positioned in the Cape Town CBD on a cobblestone walkway between the buildings. A wide variety of genres and the owner Gail is arguably the most knowledgeable art dealer in South Africa.

    My first visit. Was well worth the drive from Somerset West for John Kramer,s opening. Hope to visit your gallery again. Would also like to negotiate the possibility to have the gallery representing my paintings. Please let me know if you would consider such an arrangement. Regards Thys Cilliers

    We popped in during a winter First Thursday evening and I was very surprised - it was a beautifully engaging space and plenty of stunning art on show in each room. Like a holiday for your eyes

    I don’t have anything to say about this place, however you really need to be careful around this place because there are a lot of homeless and fraud activities, one of the homeless stoped me and begged me to buy food for him from a grocery next to this place “the grocery is not showing in google map”. The homeless man and the seller in that grocery had a deal to sell overpriced items then return it to the store from each victim and so on.

    Wonderful and friendly gallery with a variety of Art styles

  • 5/5 Philippa C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my favourite gallery in Cape Town - I love its extensive stock, all artists of quality, with modest prices, mostly contemporary work. I first visited on First Thursday but came back several times for a better look, buying a small piece of sculpture. Returning with my son who selected a silkscreen and another sculpture. The owners are on hand to chat and advise, so knowledgeable and friendly. What a lovely place.

    The Cape Gallery hosted my exhibition RECITE in a progressional capacity to the Cape Town art public. This lead to sales ad contacts that allowed me to take my art making process further. Thank you Gail, Alison and Tatum it was a pleasure working with you.

    Loved this place. Host was just attentive enough to make the experience pleasurable. She knew fascinating little facts about the varying artists that explained why the art was the way it was.

    (Translated by Google) I have been visiting Cape Town and its art galleries for over 20 years. I currently think this gallery is the best for traditional art from Cape Town and the surrounding area. Lots of young galleries with modern African art have been created in Cape Town recently. The Cape Gallery is more interested in local artists! I bought a big job over 2 years ago. Payment, delivery, packaging and customs clearance were very professional and completely problem-free. The gallery is very trustworthy, also when it comes to pricing! (Original) Seit über 20 Jahren besuche ich Kapstadt und die dortigen Kunstgalerien. Für die traditionelle Kunst aus Kapstadt und der Umgebung halte ich diese Galerie zur Zeit für die Beste. In letzter Zeit sind in Kapstadt sehr viele junge Galerien entstanden, mit moderner Afrikanischer Kunst. Die Cape Gallery ist mehr an den lokalen Künstlern interessiert! Vor mehr als 2 Jahren habe ich eine große Arbeit gekauft. Zahlung, Lieferung, Verpackung und Zollabwicklung waren sehr professionell und völlig Problemlos. Die Galerie ist sehr vertrauenswürdig, auch was die Preisgestaltung angeht!

    REAL Art. The first thing that a perceptive person will experience is the timelessness of Art. It grips with awe and nostalgia.

  • 5/5 johan d. 3 years ago on Google
    The best art gallery in Cape Town by far

  • 5/5 elmarie van l. 4 years ago on Google
    Wow and WOW!!! They have a great collection of portraits as well as landscapes although they concentrate on portraits mainly. I loved the fact that they showcased so many South African artists. They have something for every eye even if you just want to walk through and enjoy the art. A must see if you are in Church Street Cape Town.

  • 4/5 Faraz J. 5 years ago on Google
    An excellent gallery not to miss visiting if you are in Capetown and an art lover. Huge collection of different types of art pieces from various artists. The gallery has a good flow of art work interms of genre, content and the materials used for the art pieces. The host also is very welcoming and warm and eager to answer any questions and give information for any art pieces. Very well informed.

    The Cape Gallery is a premier Fine Art gallery in the heart of Cape Town. Enter the door and get lost in beautiful landscapes from all over our country. The curator and staff have a passion for their trade and a thorough knowledge of SA painting, prints & sculpture. Its a treasure trove for all art lovers!
