The first issue of ART AFRICA – an all-new, bigger and more international publication. The new-look magazine is jam-packed with more than double the content of its precursor ARTsouthAFRICA magazine, boasting 228 luxurious pages!

The all-new ART AFRICA magazine is a barometer of current trends and discourse, responding to issues and in-depth debates surrounding contemporary art from Africa and the diaspora. ART AFRICA is generously designed and full of stunning visuals. The magazine remains relevant in a time of information overload and will be ever-present at over twelve international art fairs, events and locations across the globe annually.

Various international contributions cover content ranging from curatorial practice, emerging markets, the business of art, Bright Young Things, exclusive interviews, exhibition reviews and more!

Leading opinion, sparking debate and leveraging our already extensive (and growing) global network, ART AFRICA extends its reach to focus specifically on the following four global art regions – Europe; The Global South; North Africa, The Middle East & Asia and The United States.

ART AFRICA Magazine Description:

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
