ART AFRICA Magazine Description:

Art South Africa is a contemporary art publication that is on the move, experimental, provocative, intelligent; Art South Africa today sees itself a vehicle that celebrates Africa’s future-present. Focused on African culture, creativity and the arts in general while holding onto its core market - the visual arts - Art South Africa understands that life is meaningless without dreams, tastes hollow without love, and viewpoints pretentious if not profoundly felt. Fusing great heart with great mind proves the greatest challenge; Art South Africa delivers this vision
