Ghetto Art Gallery, a gray building with colourful graffiti, is located at 135 Bird Street, between Stellenbosch, Kayamandi, Cloetesville, Idas Valley, Klapmuts, Jamestown and the surrounding farms. The owners, Bongo Flepu and Vuyo Migijima, hope that this location will help attract people to the gallery from all these different areas. This differs from most of the galleries in Stellenbosch which are primarily aimed at white and rich inhabitants of the town and at tourists. In contrast, Ghetto Art Gallery is accessible to all. Flepu and Migijima hope to not only expose people to art who dont usually go to galleries, but also to provide a platform for up and coming artists who havent yet broken through to the elite art world. In this way they provide a service to the community as well as making sure that the art that they exhibit is unique and wasnt exhibited elsewhere.
