The Fair’s mandate is to support and grow a sustainable art ecosystem in Africa for its artists. We believe the best way to do so is to work with galleries that support them through long term representation. This means the Fair gallery focused, inviting only galleries to the Fair who in turn select the artists they will exhibit in their booths.

In 2019 the fair was purchased by Mandla Sibeko making it 100% black owned.
