Johannesburg is filled with things to do, but sometimes it can be hard to find places that are art-centric. We are taking you on a journey that travels through places around the city that showcase different forms of art.

Poetry
Comfortably situated in one of the oldest and most artistic areas in Johannesburg is Outie Bakery + Cafe. The cafe serves up some of the best baked goods and coffee by day and by evening they transcend into a world of music and poetry. Their open mic/poetry night is powered by Word N Sound, one of the most well-known brands in poetry and the spoken word.
Theatre
The power of creating a story and telling something untold is absolutely amazing and that is what The Market Laboratory is all about.
