  • MEET THE TEAM. We thought it important to introduce you to some of the team that made the magic happen this year, without whom the Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2020 wouldn’t have been possible. Here we asked them each what their highlights at this year’s fair were. . @_sophielalonde, VIP Manager- All the support from the local art community and the excitement and curiosity of the international collectors and galleries. . @sadika0119 , Marketing Manager- The incredible turnout, the beautiful art and support from all the galleries. The energy was electric. @_shungi & @mrs.welmie , Operations Team- Seeing the build from the beginning, to the doors finally opening on Thursday night. After plotting everything, building it up; from the sanding to the rigging to the lights and plugs and then seeing it come to life, is the most incredible feeling. . @thembalethu_s, Comms Team, @marvelloandmill - The debut of @nxumaloderrick ‘s work. The fact that he is from my home province Kwazulu/Natal made it even more special for me. . @hannaidek, Marketing Assistant- The way the fair created an activation of Cape Town as an art city, including gallery night, the VIP programme and the new addition Art.Doc. Going beyond the confines of the CTICC, making art more accessible and showcasing different artists from around the world and locally. . @lisapellatt, Comms Team, @marvelloandmill - The 300 pieces of coverage we achieved, one of them being the front page of Sunday’s City Press, featuring artist @benjireid of @octobergallery . Also that we got 200 local and international journalists to the fair this year. @the_sbomb , Social Media Manager- @justine.mahoney ‘s Venus, for @southernguildgallery . The last year has been such a fraught time for women in South Africa, where terms like GBV have made its way into the public lexicon, reminding us how far we have to go as a society. This piece makes me hopeful and represents so much of what we are striving for. . @genievittu, Comms Team, @marvelloandmill (not pictured)– My biggest surprise and joy this year was discovering the Gerard Sekoto works, which I found to be incredible.
