Joburg Contemporary Art Foundation (JCAF) — Local services in Gauteng

This one is for the books! We knew from the moment we stepped into the premises of JCAF that it would be a memorable experience.

This is one of those well curated purpose driven art exhibitions themed around the Ecospheres and it challenges you to marry art, architecture and environmental sustainability. It’s had such a profound impact on me, and was undoubtedly the highlight for my family as well. It’s such a bucket list experience!

Our art guide, Kabelo was such a scintillating hostess not to mention how she went out of her way to make all phases of the exhibitions very relatable. She has the gift of the gab and knows how to draw you into every story.

She took us on an ecological art journey like no another where you can vividly draw into your own vantage point. Not only that but she spoke with such depth and I can’t begin to describe how nuanced the entire experience was. She’s fervently knowledgeable and so engaging which made the entire experience so magical.

The exhibitions boast a unique blend of artwork from different parts of the world. Pieces on show range from artists hailing from South Africa, India, Argentina, Peru to West Africa amongst others.

It’s proof that South Africa boasts the state of the art facilities and is well prepared to host world class...
