Gliding Through the Gallery — One Year Anniversary Edition

On the 4th of July, Gliding Through the Gallery celebrates one year of cultivating community, conversation, and cultural exchange through contemporary art. To mark the occasion, we invite you into a very special anniversary edition of the glide — an elevated full-day experience designed for art curious humans, collectors, and lovers of thoughtful gathering.

The day will begin with intimate studio visits with prominent Johannesburg-based artists, offering guests rare insight into artistic process, materiality, and the spaces where contemporary culture is being shaped.

From there, guests will transition into an elevated edition of Breaking Bread, hosted at a beautiful private venue overlooking the city. Curated by Mpumi Mayisa, the luncheon will unfold alongside a one-day exhibition featuring contemporary works in conversation with the spirit of gathering, beauty, and exchange.

Presented in collaboration with Lady Day, the culinary experience will frame food as art — inviting guests into a sensory afternoon centred around a thoughtfully curated two-course meal, drinks, conversation, community, and panoramic views of Johannesburg.

More than an event, this anniversary edition is a celebration of the relationships, creative energy, and cultural ecosystem cultivated through Gliding Through the Gallery over the past year.

Your ticket includes:

• Curated artist studio visits

• Access to a private one-day exhibition

• An elevated edition of Breaking Bread

• A curated two-course lunch by Lady Day

• Drinks throughout the experience

• Guided conversations and cultural immersion led by Mpumi Mayisa

Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy and care of the experience.
