The Stellenbosch Art Mile is an  outdoor gallery featuring interactive art installations and sensory experiences along the Eerste River.

This ever-evolving space serves as a public hub where nature,  art, and community converge.

Artworks and site-specific features are carefully selected for  their relevance, creativity, sensory stimulation, educational value,  and playful interaction.

Artists were invited to engage with the distinctive landscape, history, and design of the area, fostering a dialogue with the surrounding communities and the urban environment.

sensory experiences throughout the year

The 1.6 km route crosses six bridges over the Eerste River, stretching from the pedestrian bridge on Krige Street at Markotter to the Coetzenburg bridge.

The theme for the inaugural year (from October 2024 to September 2025) is "Tapestry of Time".

This exhibition delves into the deep geological eras that have shaped the river landscape and the town of Stellenbosch.

The exhibition highlights the works of both emerging and established artists, providing a platform to showcase a wide range of creative talent. 

The Stellenbosch Art Mile is more than just a park – it’s a vibrant, community-driven space where creativity flourishes.

 With the support of partners like the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, Stellenbosch Trail Fund, Stellenbosch University, and Stellenbosch Municipality, this unique blend of art and nature has already begun to transform our town.
