Saturday 6 June 2026 · The Industry, 1C Burnside Road, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town
Thank you for being part of HANDMADE — where Art Over There meets IRL (in real life). We are so excited to have you in the room. This page has everything you need to know before Saturday. Please read it carefully and reach out if you have any questions. This event has come together quickly and won't be perfectly polished — and that is honestly okay. The whole point of Saturday is to get 100 people in a room, mostly Art Over There creatives, and actually meet each other face to face. Talk. Connect. Start something. The production will grow with each event — this is just the beginning.
For every piece you would like hung in the space, please send us the following before Saturday: — A photo of the piece — Title of the piece — What it is (e.g. oil painting, photograph, print, illustration) — Dimensions (height x width in cm) — Approx. weight of the piece (important for hanging) — Whether it is for sale — Price (if for sale) — How an interested buyer should contact you or purchase the work (e.g. Instagram handle, email, website, WhatsApp number) This helps us label and introduce your work properly on the night so guests know exactly what they are looking at and how to get in touch with you.
We need all artwork in the space and ready before 4:00pm on Saturday. You are welcome to drop off your work at any of the following times: — Today (Wednesday) — anytime, drop off welcome — Thursday — anytime, drop off welcome — Friday — anytime, we will be installing Friday night — Saturday — the venue opens at 12:00pm, so between 12:00 and 3:00pm if your installation is not too large We will be installing everything between 12:00 and 3:00pm on Saturday.

Before the poetry begins we are offering a limited number of 5 minute slots on the mic for visual artists and creatives who would like to introduce themselves to the room. You will be standing in front of artists, creatives, and people who love what you do — so make it count. Tell us who you are, what kind of work you make or are drawn to, what collaborators or opportunities you are looking for, or a project you are currently working on. It is the fastest way to find your people in the room. No pressure, no performance — just a moment to put a face to the work on the walls and start a conversation. If you would like a slot, let us know when you get in touch and we will add you to the list. Spots are limited so first come first served. 🖤

This is just the beginning. After Saturday we will be gathering feedback from everyone involved and using it to make the next event even better. The plan is to run these regularly — monthly or more — and to keep growing the community, the lineup, and the production with each one. Everyone who applied to the original Open Call will get their chance. We are building something ongoing and we want you in it for the long run. Thank you for being part of it from the very beginning. 🖤
