A new chapter for The Project Room

Continuing the curatorial exploration of Trudi Dicks’ profound exhibition showcased at The Project Room, one of Namibia’s leading platforms for art and artists, will relocate to a new space in Windhoek at the end of August 2025, marking an exciting new chapter for the gallery. Known for its close collaboration with both emerging and established artists, the gallery supports Namibian artists through different stages of their careers – from concept development and curation to marketing and connecting them with buyers, collectors and institutions.

The move to 5 Crohn Street not only places The Project Room in the heart of the capital city’s cultural district but also reinforces its role as a connector between artists, audiences and the wider creative landscape. The new location means that The Project Room is now near Namibia’s most prominent cultural institutions, including the National Art Gallery of Namibia, the National Theatre of Namibia, the FrancoNamibian Cultural Centre and the Namibian Arts Association. This will create new opportunities for collaboration, crossdisciplinary projects and shared audiences.

“We searched for months, and now we’ve found a space that feels just right. Our new home at 5 Crohn Street will allow us to build an even stronger cultural footprint locally, while continuing to drive our mission: to share Namibian art and stories internationally,” says Laschandre Coetzee, partner of The Project Room.

From its new home, The Project Room will continue to present monthly exhibitions to art lovers, collectors and the culturally curious. Visitors can look forward to a showcase of diverse artistic voices and truly local stories. Additionally, the gallery hopes to continue to support community and cultural programmes and participate in major art fairs such as RMB Latitudes and the Investec Cape Town Art Fair. While the address has changed, the mission remains the same: to celebrate, collaborate and invest in Namibian art.
