Starting tomorrow, the 11th edition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, titled ‘Unbound’, is on display until February 18th.

This edition of the art fair has seen remarkable growth, attracting over 25,000 visitors, including 6,500 VIPs, and 106 exhibitors. This event has become a global platform for showcasing Africa’s diverse and vibrant artistic talent, drawing attention to contemporary artists who interpret the new theme, ‘Unbound’, through their work. It unfolds with a dynamic structure, encompassing five primary sections — Main Section, ALT, Editions, Publications, and Connect — alongside three specially curated segments: Tomorrows/Today, SOLO, and Generations.

This iteration of the fair celebrates the unbridled creativity and infinite possibilities within the art world, aiming to showcase works that provoke the imagination and transcend conventional narratives and societal norms.
