   Victoria Yards, 24 Victoria Road corner Viljoen, Lorentzville, Johannesburg.

A 19th century Industrial complex called the Victoria Yard, in the heart of Johannesburg Town.



        Side View of the building Facade


As I write this blog, right now it is being remodeled into an Artist hub that would comprise Artist Studio spaces, Art galleries and everything Art wise. 



                                  Bare walls for Artist to Install their Art

The actual space for this years exhibition is also under remodeling and construction how cool is that and this space will be occupied by the Joburg fringe for the next 4 days.



                                       Clearing my wall space at the Fringe Venue



It is under construction and remodeling so the walls are bare and you can see the old bones of the building and the Industrial appeal is so in your face... it is beautiful.


live Art, graffiti going on in the venue exciting!



 Though a bit daunting when it comes to installing our work,I know we are all excited about the venue and the space, so that thought is so secondary to us all right now, as we brave  all the remodeling going on and install Art.....

  Handmade Business Marketing: Tips to Grow Your Craft Sales Explore effective marketing tips for handmade businesses. Learn how to create a strong brand, market your products, and grow your craft sales both online and offline. I remember when I decided to craft and sell my recycled art objects, it was scary because I didn't know how to go about it. I spent time creating craft items that would stay in my storage for months because I felt they were not good enough, until I joined Pinterest in 2013 and that changed. I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".  The more I blogged about my craft and posted on pinterest the more the views increased and people shared their ideas with me.

Marketing your handmade business effectively is essential for attracting customers, increa...

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art  Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game.  People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works.   For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase.             Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art,  by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor.  While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays.  The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves.  I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...

Abstract Art Silhouettes by Miabo Enyadike

Abstract Art Silhouettes My practice in Abstract Expressionism is rooted in color as a force of identity rather than decoration.  Through what I define as Abstract Silhouette Art, I strip the human figure of literal detail and reconstruct it through saturated, expressive color fields. I am particularly drawn to the tension between presence and absence.  Traditional silhouettes rely on darkness to define form, but my work deliberately disrupts this logic.  I replace shadow with luminosity, transforming what is typically obscure into something vivid, animated, and impossible to ignore.  In doing so, I challenge the viewer’s expectation of how the human form should be perceived and understood. The silhouette, for me, is not a reduction of identity but an expansion of it.  By removing physical specificity, I create space for psychological, emotional, and symbolic readings to emerge.  Color becomes the language through which these identities are constructed...

   Creative Jeans Art Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Art Project"                                                                       Re purposing discarded JEANS into Art My new found obsession with Jean pants is no longer centered around it being a fashion staple for me, or comfort wear but a new way of innovation.  I look at a well-worn pair of Jeans on a person or in a charity store and I see potential immediately and an even bigger creative prospect ahead.                   My friends and family know that there is more to their pair of Jeans when it is no longer in use to them for me.                                     ...
