Whats happening at Victoria Yards?
About Victoria Yards.
Victoria Yards presents a uniquely integrated urban complex that is as much about social development as it is a commercial enterprise. A market space, an event venue, a collection of artisans and artist studios set among edible gardens, Victoria Yards inspires, educates, and provides an uplifting space for visitors and tenants alike.
Victoria Yards is located at 16 Viljoen St, Lorentzville, Johannesburg. Please be aware that while there is some indoor parking, there is not a lot. There is guarded on street parking outside of Victoria Yards. The shuttle service will depart from the main entrance of Victoria Yards.

Along with the Antidote Project & The Imbali Visual Literacy Project
Imbali Visual Literacy Project
The Imbali Visual Literacy Project was founded by Yvonne Wilson as a project of Women for Peace in 1988, when a children’s national art competition showed that children with little or no access to art at school demonstrated extremely poor perceptual skills.
Imbali uses innovative applied and work-based learning strategies to teach art, design, and critical thinking to youth, the unemployed and people with disabilities providing them and their communities with a path to economic and cultural sustainability. In addition, we facilitate the ongoing development of creative arts teachers, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
Imbali is built on the philosophy that art and creativity are powerful forces for social change, and that creative entrepreneurship through the arts is a productive and life-changing opportunity for youth, the unemployed and people with disabilities
Imbali is registered with the Caths Seta and offers accredited training programmes in the areas of crafts production, crafter enterprise and creative facilitation. We are based in Newtown (Johannesburg), but work throughout Gauteng and in a number of other South African provinces.
