The 12th edition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair is here to showcase the best in contemporary art from Africa and beyond.
The Investec Cape Town Art Fair offers visitors an especially rich array of special features, highlights and extras. With over 120 exhibitors, 30 000 visitors, and 10 000 VIPs, it offers a platform for galleries, collectors, curators and artists from around the globe to create connections at the forefront of contemporary art.
The theme for the curated sections of the 2025 edition of the fair is PLAY. This concept invites artists, curators and guests of the fair to embrace informal experimentation and the joy of discovery. The theme embodies the limitless potential of art to surprise, challenge and engage.
The PLAY theme is explored in distinct yet interconnected ways: Play as an action, filled with spontaneity and delight; play as a game, offering an open-ended journey of exploration; and playing one's role, using art as an active tool in new and unexpected ways to shape culture and values and to foster dialogue.
The 2025 edition of the fair is composed by three core sections (Main, Lookout and Editions) and by three curated sections (Tomorrows/Today, SOLO and Generations) with Special Project Cabinet/Trophy.
In addition, Investec Cape Town Art Fair has appointed the following curators: Dr. Mariella Franzoni (Barcelona, Spain); SOLO section, Céline Seror (Amsterdam, Netherlands); Heba El Kayal (London, United Kingdom) and Cabinet/Trophy section, Exhibition Match (Cape Town, South Africa).
