Jacques van der Watt and Bradley Kirschenbaum, the design duo behind the Black Coffee and Love Jozi labels have added the market to their repertoire and are bringing together the best Gauteng has to offer.

"The Jozi public can look forward to fine food, design products, local farmers, seasonal items, gourmet goods, plants and herbs, fresh produce, cut flowers, organic producers and independent beers," says van der Watt.

Down the road from Arts on Main but still part of the Maboneng Precinct, The Bioscope, Joburg's independent cinema house will be screening kid's content so that parents can shop, browse and relax at their own leisure while their children are being entertained and looked after.

The market is an initiative supported by Propertuity, the developers of the Maboneng Precinct, and the Maboneng community. Jonathan Liebmann, founder of Propertuity says, "Joburgers know 'Arts on Main' and they know 'Main Street Life', but there is so much more to the precinct and the market is just one of the many exciting projects planned for 2011."
