Arts on Main is a mixed-use creative hub in Johannesburg's Maboneng Precinct, featuring artists' studios, galleries, workshops, eateries, and retail spaces. It showcases how creative work can coexist with food, design, business, and everyday city life.

Visitors can explore studios, galleries, and other spaces, but should check current information before visiting, as individual tenants may have different schedules. The precinct is known for its blend of industrial architecture and creative uses, reflecting how buildings gain new public lives when artists, makers, and businesses use them together.

Arts on Main is located in the Maboneng Precinct. Visitors are encouraged to support the people working there by browsing studios, attending events, or eating at participating venues. It is a working creative community, not just a backdrop.

Planning ahead is recommended, as some spaces have limited hours or operate by appointment. Respect photography and access rules in individual studios.
