With the contemporary art zeitgeist pointing the world’s attention to the African continent: there has never been a more pivotal time to navigate the ecosystem with discernment.
Geared up to offer you exclusive access to the inner workings of the contemporary art market, connecting you with South Africa’s top artists, galleries, and art patrons; this year The BMW Young Collectors Co. programme will continue to help you navigate this wealth of talent, equipping you with the insight necessary to make informed, strategic decisions as a collector.
As we settle into the new year, BMW South African and FNB Art Joburg want to take a moment to thank you for your continued engagement and support of the BMW Young Collectors Co. Since our inception in 2021, your participation in the journey in over 20 moments of learning across Gauteng, the Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal has been instrumental in shaping our community and advancing the mission of nurturing a new generation of art collectors in South Africa.
In 2025, we encourage you to reflect on the importance and joy that art patronage brings—not only to the artists and the art market, but to your personal growth and legacy. By collecting art, you are not just acquiring beautiful objects; you are becoming part of a movement that ensures the cultural heritage of our country thrives and evolves.
The BMW Young Collectors Co. has always aimed to expand the South African art patronage scene by bringing fresh perspectives to the ecosystem. Our mission is to engage the next generation of art patrons and ensure that the support for contemporary African art reflects the rich diversity of the country. By fostering fresh perspectives and new voices, we aim to shape a more inclusive future for the art ecosystem by engaging the next generation.
We look forward to another year of growth, discovery, and shared passion for the arts. Together, let’s continue to champion the African art economy and ensure its vibrant future for generations to come.
