22 On Sloane: Exploring The Intersection Of Art And Entrepreneurship In Africa

My recent visit to FNB Art Joburg, which is Africas leading and longest-running contemporary art fair, was more than just a casual stroll through curated masterpieces.

Accompanied by one of my closest friends, Lisa, the experience turned into a reflective exploration of the ever-evolving art landscape in Africa.

We found ourselves immersed in a world where creativity and entrepreneurship blend seamlessly, showcasing the power of art to not only provoke thought but serve as a commercial and cultural force.

In recent years, the global art market has seen a surge in interest in African art, with the continent's artists gaining recognition on the world stage.

According to the ArtTactic 2022 African Art Market Report, African art sales reached approximately 225 million that year, demonstrating a growing appetite for African creativity among international collectors.
