ABOUT

ABOUT

Investec Cape Town Art Fair is the largest and leading international art fair on the African continent, bringing together a diverse group of celebrated exhibitors, including prominent galleries from around the world, to present contemporary art.
 
The fair's 14th edition takes place from 19 – 21 February 2027 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), guided by the curatorial concept, In Acts of Alchemy, where we turn to alchemy's unwavering belief in the possibilities of change. The processes and ideas surrounding alchemy are part of a contemporary conversation that affirms the fair as a dynamic place for people, materials, and meanings to gather, shift, and transform.⁠
 
Looking back, our 2026 edition featured 126 exhibitors from 34 global cities, showcased the work of over 490 artists, including 42 exhibitors who made their debut, and welcomed over 34,000 visitors and 10,000 VIPs.
 
Renowned as an intimate yet globally significant cultural platform, Investec Cape Town Art Fair fosters discovery, innovation, and cross-cultural exchange at the intersection of the fast-growing African art market and the international art world. It is a meeting place for collectors, galleries, curators, artists, art professionals and art lovers from around the world, creating meaningful connections during Cape Town's summer season.
