RMB Latitudes Art Fair will return to Johannesburg, for its fourth edition in May 2026. 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 art fair experience unlike any other on the continent. Rather than the anonymity of a convention centre, the Fair unfolds across a series of designed indoor and outdoor spaces, creating an immersive, walkable environment that encourages slower looking and more meaningful encounters with art.

At the same time, the Fair maintains the professional standards expected of major international fairs, with carefully designed booths, museum-grade presentation and considered exhibition architecture throughout. This balance between intimacy and rigour has become a defining feature of Latitudes, combining the atmosphere of a curated exhibition 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

“At RMB Latitudes, we continue to challenge and break down the inequalities that exist within the art world,” says Lucy MacGarry, Co-founder and Director of Latitudes. “Our priority is, and has always been, to put artists first, creating a Fair that centres their voices, supports their long-term visibility, and builds pathways for sustainable practice. RMB Latitudes is about reimagining how the art ecosystem can work more equitably, for artists and for the wider cultural community.”

“RMB is committed to building a sustainable art economy across Africa and strengthening cultural development,” says RMB’s Alison Badenhorst. “With a strong presence on the continent, we can bridge markets, drive engagement and support artists, curators, collectors and audiences to reach new local and global opportunities. Through RMB Latitudes, we aim to unlock talent and enabling creativity to thrive.”

“We’re still riding the high of the RMB Latitudes Art Fair and feel deeply grateful to have been part of this year’s edition. From set-up to takedown, every aspect was handled with such care, warmth, and professionalism.” - Jana Terblanche, Director, Southern Guild
