The Canvas Riversands, in the north of Johannesburg, began with a clear vision: to be more than just a venue. Since 2016, it has grown into a space that fosters connection, creativity, and meaningful growth. As part of the Riversands I-Hub, we proudly stand alongside a dynamic ecosystem of performance-driven entrepreneurs, businesses, and changemakers.
