A new era of Urban Living in Cape Town’s West City

‍Cape Town developer Blok has officially launched ELEVENONB, its 21st development, introducing a bold fusion of art, architecture and community-focused city living. The launch coincided with First Thursdays, transforming the future ELEVENONB site into Art on the Blok 2.0: Open Art, a 20-plus-artist open-air gallery showcasing murals, installations and live performance.

Featuring artists such as Palm Black, Yolande Schoeman, Bongani Khumalo, Emily Rice, Digital Bushman, Ruan Cornelissen and more, the urban art park will remain open to the public.

“Open Art invites the public into the city-making process,” says Jacques van Embden, CEO of Blok.‍

“It shows how creativity can transform space and make urban living more human, more connected, and more alive.”

Guest speaker Rashiq Fataar, CEO of Our Future Cities, highlighted the role of art and design in regenerating Cape Town’s West City precinct, an area rapidly evolving into a cultural and residential hub.
