Once again, Tomorrows/Today will present solo presentations by some of the most exciting emerging artists from Africa and the diaspora.

The programme will also include the Cultural Platforms section, showcasing art institutions and non-profit organisations, as well as curated walkabouts and talks by art professionals.

VISION & MISSION

To showcase new trends in art emerging from Africa and its diaspora

To introduce collectors to an array of new artists, and facilitate relationships between galleries, collectors, and institutions

To adapt the best international practices to build a sustainable economic platform for the art market

To encourage innovation in art collection and production.

To educate the public and motivate greater participation in the arts

To further develop skills and professionalism within the arts sector

The allure of Cape Town Art Fair is its content and its placement on the African continent. With the advent of its 5th edition, the market has proven that art fairs are a sustainable economic model for trade in contemporary art.

The city's geography is an integral part of Cape Town Art Fair's success. Cape Town is a vibrant cultural hub, attracting international collectors with the novelty of diverse, cutting edge art and a favourable exchange rate.
