Absa L’Atelier is one of the longest running, prestigious art competitions in Africa. Young emerging artists (aged 21 to 35 years) from across the African continent are afforded the opportunity to receive recognition for their work and to develop their talents abroad. The competion, which is in its 33rd year, has helped to bring artists' possibilities to life by launching their careers and making them household names on a global level.

 

This year artists from Zambia, Uganda, Kenya, Botswana, Mozambique, Seychelles, Tanzania, Mauritius, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria and South Africa, were invited to participate.
