As the Northern Hemisphere is entering the fall season, the African continent celebrates the coming of spring. With all major events happening here in the approaching summer season, art museums and galleries are back with new programming. At Nel Art Gallery, September starts with Mirror Mirror, a brutally honest and emotionally evoking solo exhibition by Ilené Bothma, a talented South African artist with a unique visual approach.  

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which boasts the largest collection of works by the celebrated Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, has issued an alarming warning: without government funding to cover essential repairs, it may be forced to close. Representatives of the Museum say that large-scale maintenance works are urgently needed to protect the collection and visitors.

Culturally Arts Collective has presented its latest replication project, organized in partnership with Tribes Art Africa Gallery (TAAG Gallery). This is a group exhibition of contemporary African art, featuring works by Duke Chinedu Mark, David Okoi, and Toba Kayode Samuel. The show, which is titled “Contours of Being,” was opened at Culturally Arts Collective’s virtual gallery on July 8 and is available for viewing until September 30, 2025.

Culturally Arts Collective always has something exciting on offer, with immersive exhibitions and celebrations of diversity and subversive themes in art happening all year round on its digital platforms. This summer is marked by another worthy virtual art show opened at the Milostka Center for Exhibitions. Welcome the multi-disciplinary artist Hazel Chen and her deeply honest self-exploration in the “Boundaries of Being” exhibition.

As the vibrant Dog Show at Nel has reached its logical ending, the South African gallery is back with the exciting news about upcoming projects and events. August, in particular, is marked by Nel’s participation in Heat, a local winter arts festival unifying exhibitions at 13 galleries and museums. So, what should you know about the festival to plan your art exploration adventures in Cape Town next month?

Art can take different forms, depending on how far an artist’s creative imagination can take it. Fine Art Shippers, an art logistics company based in New York, has always been at the forefront of promoting art and contributing to its visibility and accessibility to audiences. That’s how the “Da Race on Wheels” van, a unique art project created in collaboration with the renowned artist Mitchell Schorr, has become a one-of-a-kind object pushing the boundaries of street art.

Culturally Arts Collective is a non-profit entity that actively promotes artists from all corners of the globe and increases their visibility by means of digitalizing their artwork and giving them global outreach. “Fragments of Now” by Marina Chisty is a new virtual show presented by Culturally Arts Collective, which is already on view at the Milostka Center for Exhibitions. Here is what you need to know about the exhibition and the artist behind it.
