Pretoria’s
art scene gets an early dose of colour this week as TERRACONTEMPORARY opens Celebration,
a group exhibition featuring 12 South African artists, including Linda Tyrell, Céline
Lefort, Kingsley Palime and Leon van Vuuren.
The
show opens Thursday, June 25, 2026 and runs through July 23, 2026, at TerraContemporary,
5 Diep-in-die-Berg Street, Wapadrand, Pretoria. The curator Anne Scheffer says the exhibition was conceived as an antidote to mid-year fatigue, bringing
together painting, sculpture and mixed media that explore joy, resilience and
community.
“After
a heavy first half of 2026, we wanted to spotlight artists who still find
reasons to celebrate,” a gallery rep noted. The line-up mixes established names
with emerging voices, making it one of Pretoria’s most diverse winter openings.
TERRACONTEMPORARY
has built a reputation for platforming contemporary SA voices outside the
Johannesburg circuit, and Celebration continues that mandate. Expect
bold palettes, textured surfaces, and work that leans into optimism without
ignoring reality. Opening hours are Wed-Sat, 10am-4pm. The show is free to
attend.
