Vela Projects Desk verified

Vela Projects works from Plein Street, on the quieter eastern side of the CBD, and keeps a deliberately small programme: a boutique selection of local contemporary artists, some of whom it represents and some of whom it simply shows. Showing unrepresented artists alongside a represented roster is a commercially awkward thing to do and a useful one — it is how a gallery finds out who it should be representing. Plein Street is a short walk east from Greenmarket Square and the Church Street strip. Vela opens for First Thursdays, the CBD's late-opening evening on the first Thursday of every month.
