Investec Cape Town Art Fair (ICTAF) is the largest and leading international art fair on the African continent, organised by Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa (FMEA), a company wholly owned by Fiera Milano S.p.A., based in Italy and listed on the stock exchange.

Investec Cape Town Art Fair sponsors do not direct, curate or manage the fair’s governance, programming or daily operations.
Investec Cape Town Art Fair has proven to be an intimate platform for discovery, innovation and cross-cultural exchange, where the fast-growing African art market and the international art world meet. Our mission is rooted in respect, creative freedom, inclusive dialogue and dignity for all.
Fiera Milano S.p.A., Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa, and their event, Investec Cape Town Art Fair, are inspired by and committed to upholding the highest ethical standards.
Through Investec Cape Town Art Fair, we are committed to fostering a space that is inclusive, thoughtful and champions the values of equality and expression.
We believe in the power of art to challenge, question and illuminate, and to move the world forward. As a fair, Investec Cape Town Art Fair provides a platform for open discourse and cultural exchange.
We are sensitive to the realities of oppression, past and present, here and elsewhere, and stand firmly against all forms of hate speech, incitement to violence, or content that promotes the marginalisation or erasure of any community.
These values underpin all aspects of our organisation, from our year-round programming to the annual Investec Cape Town Art Fair event itself. All visitors, participants, exhibitors, artists and staff are expected to uphold these principles.
By entering the fair, you agree to support a respectful, safe and inclusive environment that honours the role of art in building understanding, not division. We expect all attendees to treat one another with dignity and to refrain from any behaviour that may be discriminatory, disruptive, aggressive or otherwise harmful.
Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa and Investec Cape Town Art Fair look forward to welcoming you at the 13th edition of the fair, taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 20 — 22 February 2026.
