Solo Studios

Solo Studios in the Riebeek Valley is an intimate and immersive arts event that offers a rare glimpse into the creative heart of this picturesque region. Held annually, it brings together a vibrant community of established and emerging artists who open their private studios – and galleries – to the public, inviting art lovers into their personal creative spaces. This unique “Art on Exhibition, Artists at Work” concept allows visitors not only to view and purchase exceptional pieces but also to engage directly with the artists, gaining insight into their inspirations, techniques, and processes. Beyond the studios, the event features curated group exhibitions, live music performances, and collaborative experiences that celebrate the region’s rich cultural tapestry.

Set against the scenic beauty and warm hospitality of the Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West, Solo Studios offers more than just an art showcase — it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and connection. The event draws visitors from across the country and beyond, eager to explore the valley’s charming towns, taste local wines, and indulge in exceptional culinary experiences. Special events like A Long Table dinners, exclusive wine pairings, and live performances add to the festival’s allure, creating a multisensory journey through art and culture. With its intimate scale and curated quality, Solo Studios has become a highlight on the South African arts calendar, offering a truly distinctive and memorable experience.
