Our Story

Capital Art Fair Tshwane culminates a showcase of the intersection of art and design, local and contemporary, sustainability and culture in Tshwane’s backyard.

The fair was birthed out of the desire to preserve and celebrate the rich and diverse heritage of the capital and the greater region. Stimulated by the cultivation of our historic landmarks and monuments, living cultures, biodiversity and thriving industries, a spirited call to action to showcase the visual story of South Africa’s art circuit fashioned itself.

At the root of this cultural imagination is an undeniably charged love for a leading global city and world-class destination that is characterised by a dynamic pulse and an immersive cultural experience. This accents its vital role in South Africa’s heritage and history; the picture that Capital Art Fair Tshwane envisions to share with our patrons.
