In December 2022, American Express launched the AmexZA Graphic Arts Challenge in partnership with Nedbank. For this edition artists and designers were called upon to create work which responded to the theme "The vibrant African marketplace – everyone is welcome."

After poring over hundreds of entries the judges have narrowed it down to a long list of 92 artists whose work will be exhibited at Keyes Art Mile. The works not only celebrate the theme of 'everyone is welcome' but provide a survey of South Africa's design talent with work from wearied pros to excitable students.

The winners of the competition will be announced at the exhibition opening at First Thursdays at Keyes Art Mile at 19:00 (Thu, Mar 2). A new Rosebank art district map with the destination's top galleries and other places of interest will be released on the same night.
