August House is an enclave for artists located in End Street in the Johannesburg CBD. It houses a thriving artistic community. The building currently houses 43 artists, some of whom are starting out and some who are well recognised South African artists. The mix of ages, genders, races and styles of work, allows the artist’s practice to grow and pushes them in new directions. Its notable tenants have included artists such as Mary Sibanda, Dineo Seshee Bopape and Lawrence Lemaoana, Mbongeni Richman Buthelezi, Gordon Froud, Joseph Gaylard, Nontobeko Ntombela, Gabi Ngcobo, Gonçalo Mabunda, Jacki McInnes, Nelson Makamo, Bie Venter, Kudzanai Chiurai and Nicholas Hlobo.

August House runs a number of Exhibitions, Open Studios and online exhibition throughout the year. The aim of this programming is to allow the public to meet the artists and see their work. The Online Exhibition programme gives a platform to young curators who are invited to select and curate an exhibition of their making.
