South Africa’s Southern Guild Opens First NYC Art & Design Gallery
Southern Guild, a gallery founded in 2008 by Trevyn and Julian McGowan in Cape Town, South Africa, is opening its first New York City location at 75 Leonard Street in Tribeca on April 24. The gallery, which works with collectible design and contemporary art, will inaugurate the space with two solo exhibitions featuring South African artists Mmangaliso Nzuza and Usha Seejarim. The move follows the transition of its former Los Angeles space and reflects the gallery's expansion from its roots in Cape Town's Silo District, where it operates within a production ecosystem of ceramic studios, bronze foundries, and fabrication workshops.
