RMB Latitudes Art Fair

Shepstone Gardens, Johannesburg

RMB Latitudes Art Fair returns to Shepstone Gardens, Johannesburg, from 21–23 May 2027 for its fifth edition, reaffirming its position as a leading platform for contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. Known for its distinctive model prioritising exchange, sustainability and long-term visibility, the Fair brings together artists, galleries and cultural partners in a setting that encourages meaningful engagement with art.

Brought to you by the team behind Latitudes Online, and in partnership with Rand Merchant Bank, the fair offers visitors a unique art experience that brings together the art community from across the continent and diaspora.

Set within the historic terraced gardens and architecture of Shepstone Gardens, RMB Latitudes offers an immersive alternative to conventional art fair formats. Carefully designed indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces combine the intimacy of a curated show with the professional standards and museum-grade presentation expected of major international fairs.

This balance between intimacy and rigour has become a defining feature of RMB Latitudes, combining an oasis-like experience with the credibility and commercial strength of a global art fair.

“The art fair seems to go from strength to strength and may soon be challenging the big boys of the African fair circuit.” - Wanted Magazine
