Founded in September 2020, THEFOURTH is a contemporary art gallery and design showroom. Housed on the fourth floor of the old Exchange Building in the historic area of St. George’s Mall, the platform is on the pulse of Cape Town’s creative community. The mixed-use space is both commercial and informative in nature and comprises a gallery as well as a concept store and a private bar. The hybrid nature of THEFOURTH promotes interdisciplinary connection and collaboration in order to foster a community of creative professionals. Our aim is to break down traditional gallery structures and offer new contexts in which to exhibit art and design.
