About Us

A new contemporary art space in Cape Town.

Camps Bay Gallery was birthed from a desire to create a sanctuary for art that speaks to the soul. In a world saturated with noise, we asked, "What if there was a space dedicated to quiet contemplation and profound connection?" We said "yes" to a gallery that feels less like a sterile white box and more like a warm, inviting home for creativity.
