The Windybrow Arts Centre, commonly referred to as the Windybrow Theatre, is a cultural and heritage landmark situated in Hillbrow, Johannesburg. Originally built in 1896 by Theodore Reunert as a grand Victorian house. The building has been used for many other facilities such as a nurses home. It later became a space dedicated to promoting South African arts, particularly performing arts. In 1996, Windybrow was declared a national monument. The center serves as a platform for storytelling, cultural exchange, and artistic expression, focusing on the diverse cultures and traditions of South Africa.
The Windybrow Theatre is a key player in the arts and cultural development in Johannesburg. Its programming includes theatrical performances, poetry readings, music concerts, workshops, and community-driven projects aimed at fostering local talent. The venue also hosts festivals and events that celebrate African heritage and arts. With its outreach programs, the theater engages with the surrounding community to inspire and nurture young creatives.
As a heritage site, the Windybrow also celebrates the history of Johannesburg, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's cultural evolution. The center is managed by the Market Theatre Foundation, ensuring its sustainability as a vibrant cultural hub.
