Hosting its debut edition on Nelson Mandela Square, Latitudes Art Fair showcases work from more than 20 smaller galleries from across South Africa and the wider continent.

In addition to the various gallery exhibitions there are also three special themed exhibitions: ‘Essay’, a section focused on the work of one emerging and one established artist, ‘Independent’ a curated exhibition of early-career artists who currently don’t have gallery representation, and ‘Spotlight’ a curated selection of artists from across Africa and the diaspora who will each present three works for the fair. Participating galleries and studios include David Krut Projects, Centre for the Less Good Idea, Guns & Rain and the digital art gallery TMRW Gallery.  

On September 13 and 14 take the kids along to the Latitudes Kids Lounge to enjoy some fun and educational art-focused activities in partnership with Kids Living, David Krut Workshop, Heritage Craft Products, and the Imbali Visual Literacy Project. Activities include a 'Snazz up your sneakers and caps' corner and a chance to create a printed artwork with artist Lady Skollie (Sat 11:00-13:00) and Maja Maljevic (Sat 14:00-17:00) and the team from David Krut Projects and Imbali Visual Literacy Project.
