The Art & Bubbles Affair is coming to Rosebank, Johannesburg—a celebration of South African wines, art, and connection created by hospitality entrepreneur Monwabisi Thethe. Known for ventures like The Prawnery and Kanpai restaurants, Monwabisi is bringing a fresh cultural experience that blends luxury with storytelling.

"Hospitality is about stories and relationships. Creating this affair was natural for me—a weekend where art, wine, and celebration spark true connections," explains Monwabisi.

The event partners with premium Keyes Art Mile galleries featuring contemporary artists exploring transformation and cultural narratives. Guests can participate in masterclasses, investment opportunities, and bid on art pieces.

Attendees will enjoy sparkling wines from around the world—from South Africa's Cap Classique to French Champagne and beyond. The experience includes immersive art installations, tastings, food vendors, and live performances.

"Art, like food and hospitality, turns spaces into narratives. It becomes part of the memory, part of the toast," says Monwabisi.
