In this episode host Juliet Rees Davies is joined by Jaret Loggen-berg and Barbara Lenhard, Directors of the Artists Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa to discuss how⁠ the art world is transforming and priorities are transitioning from prestige and scarcity to access and attention. Strategies now focus on making art emotionally resonant and lowering barriers to entry, allowing for greater flexibility, renewed focus, and innovative ways of engaging with both artists and audiences.

The Artist Gallery is co-owned and driven by artists and passionate art lovers and is redefining the art collector’s experience by fostering an open dialogue between young and established South African artists and art collectors. The gallery will be exhibiting at the Affordable Art Fair in Stockholm this year and Jaret Loggen-berg will be looking forward to meet art buyers!

The Emerging Artists Development Trust (EADT) is a charitable initiative established by the Artists Gallery founders and represented artists and beyond. The EADT has been selected as the chosen charity for this year’s Affordable Art Fair in Stockholm.
