INVITATION TO SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST TO SUBMIT ARTWORK FOR
                                                     ACQUISITION

Art Bank of South Africa

South African artists are invited to submit their contemporary artwork to be considered for
                acquisition by the Art Bank of South Africa (ArtbankSA). The ArtbankSA annually considers acquiring
                special pieces of art for its own growing collection.

Background

The ArtbankSA is tasked with purchasing artworks from South African artists, particularly that of
                emerging artists in order to lease the artworks to South African government departments, private
                companies and private individuals. It is a national programme of the Department of Sports, Arts and
                Culture as part of the Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE) strategy implementation and is hosted by the
                National Museum Bloemfontein, an agency of the Department of Arts and Culture. The vision of the
                ArtbankSA is to promote, foster and stimulate a vibrant market for the collection of South African
                contemporary visual art.

The Art Bank will achieve this vision by;
                          Curating a definitive collection of contemporary South African visual art.
                          Promoting financial sustainability for the artists and Art Bank of South Africa through the
                           leasing of art.
                          Nurturing emerging South African artists by expanding the market for their work and
                           providing skills development opportunities.
                          Fostering an appreciation for contemporary art by making art accessible to the broader
                           public in their workplaces and shared spaces.
