A new annual list of the most on-the-rise artists in South Africa

To celebrate over 20 years of Art.co.za, we are launching a new annual list of the most on-the-rise artists across various media and subject matter shaping the future of contemporary art in South Africa.

What is Art.co.za Watch List?

We hope to feature emerging young visual artists, artists who've gained momentum in the past year, and artists who have persevered for years and are reaching a crucial new stage in their career.

We will be offering 10 shortlisted artists, who aren't already featured on Art.co.za, a dedicated page featuring a selection of their artworks, their biography and contact information for the duration of one year.
