Largest contemporary art fair

CAPE TOWN: CELEBRATING ART, CREATIVITY AND EXPLORATION THROUGH THE POWER OF PLAY

- 

Investec Cape Town Art Fair, which takes place from 21 to 23 February 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), is delighted to announce its exhibitors for the 12th edition of the fair and introduce its first highlights.

The Investec Cape Town Art Fair remains the largest contemporary art fair on the African continent, featuring 124 exhibitors from across the globe, including top galleries from Europe and the US specialising in contemporary art.

For the first time, galleries from Tokyo, Kampala and Kuwait City are taking part in the fair.

The 2025 edition of the fair will feature 30 first-time exhibitors, the largest group of new galleries in the event's history.

More than half of the exhibitors are returning to the fair, drawn back by the vibrant energy of Cape Town with its dynamic art scene and reputation as the key art hub of the African continent.

Independent consultant and curator Céline Seror will take the reins of the SOLO section, while Egyptian curator, writer and researcher Heba El Kayal from Cairo will curate the Generations section.

A new section, Lookout, is dedicated to emerging galleries that have been operating for under five years.

The 2025 fair will also showcase the second iteration of its "Cabinet" series: Cabinet/Trophy: Playing the Field, curated by Exhibition Match (Alexander Richards and Dr Phokeng Setai).

The fair continues to take art beyond the confines of the fair by activating Cape Town's buzzing inner-city and surrounds through the Unbound City public programme, including an Art Fair Hub to enjoy after hours.
