The Absa L’Atelier Art & Lifestyle Fair is an annual art competition helping young visual artists from across 12 African countries. The event returns for its third consecutive year, featuring artwork by the Top 12 Finalists of the Absa L’Atelier Art 2026 Competition.
This year’s edition celebrates 40 years of Absa L’Atelier Art’s commitment to supporting and developing emerging visual artists from across the continent, while actively contributing to the growth of Africa’s creative economy. Also, guests can expect the four winning artists of the Absa L’Atelier Art 2026 Competition to be announced live at the event.
Beyond the art, visitors can enjoy live music and entertainment, a kids’ corner with hours of activities for children aged 12 and under in a safe, supervised and entry-controlled area, a variety of food and beverage stalls, and more.
