While the gallery is certainly drawing the cognoscenti, influencers, the hot and the cool, it is far more than a destination. It is a rare visual experience, a sensorial delight.<\/p>\n<p>And appropriately, it is named Rare Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Founder Henry explains: \u201cRare Gallery is a collective of different worlds. We have combined high-end art with luxury couture to bring a whole new rare experience, something neither Cape Town nor South Africa has seen yet.\u201d It opened on 17 June 2022 and is an extension of Henry\u2019s passion for expression and his unique sense of style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The art<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The current exhibition, showing until early January showcases artists such as Gavin Thomson, Nicola Roos, Fhatuwani Mukheli, Buqaqawuli Nobakada.<\/p>\n<p>New artists are showcased every two months. \u201cOne of our goals is to support upcoming arcane artists who don\u2019t have the platform to get their work and name out there,\u201d says Henry. \u201cWe have the perfect platform to help young, creative individuals with a lot of potential garner experience and bring their work to the attention of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The couture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Upstairs, you\u2019ll find Rare Luxury. \u201cHigh-end couture is sought after all over the world and what better place to bring this type of clothing to than Africa?\u201d asks Henry. \u201cThe brands that we choose to resell in our store are all high-end, big names.\u201d He\u2019s not overstating things. Alongside Rare\u2019s own creations, you\u2019ll find those of Balenciaga, Cartier, Dior and Palm Angels, Lanvin, Amiri, Off-White and Catalina. It\u2019s a sleek, desirable eclectic fusion that works.<\/p>\n<p>Rare Mode is Henry\u2019s streetwear brand. What started out as a source for custom-designed jeans, grew into a capsule wardrobe that was snapped up by \u201cboth famous individuals as well as influencers\u201d. The opportunity for a curated, collaborative collection was clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClothing is a form of art. And that\u2019s what we love. It makes sense. Not many people get the opportunity to see some of these items, whether it\u2019s the couture or the art. For us, making that rare experience possible is what we want to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henry and his team have created a cultural hub where members of the community, whether they\u2019re artists or collectors \u2013 or neither, can meet and inspire one another. If promoting expression, inspiration and innovation is his aim, what is his vision of the future?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShort-term, we\u2019re planning a massive RARE party with local acts on the line-up as well as some crazy headliners. We are doing this for the culture. It\u2019s a wave that won\u2019t stop once it gets going and in the medium term, there\u2019ll be more public and private events to promote the gallery. Long-term, we plan to take over the world and expand on a global level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Artists are welcome to submit their portfolios to the email list.garber@theraregallery.com or raregallery@icloud.com. There is no guarantee that they will be chosen however all submissions will be considered.<\/p>\n<p>Rare Gallery is open: Tue to Fri, 10am \u2013 6pm; Sat 11am \u2013 5pm<\/p>\n<p>Find it: 6 Watson Street (around the corner from Pizza Shed), Cape Town City Centre<\/p>\n<p>Contact Rare Gallery on: 074 784 2986, Instagram: @raregallery_<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">33<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/introducing-cape-towns-newest-art-gallery\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
