Timeless Africa Art Experiences collaborates with South Africa’s top museums, art galleries, artists, and prominent collectors to create custom-designed specialist art travel experiences at the highest level for global institutions, special interest groups, patrons, and collectors such as TATE, The Israel Museum, Guggenheim Museum, and Centre Pompidou. We are the leading South African specialist in bespoke art programmes and have been appointed as one of the official travel specialists for the opening of Zeitz MOCAA in September 2017.
Every art itinerary we create is customised to the individual, or groups, needs and interests. In September 2017, our travel programmes will centre around the opening ceremonies of this already internationally recognised jewel of the art world. When it comes to art experiences, we believe that nothing can ever be standardised and we will be working with directors, curators and development staff to design your ideal itinerary and give you a never to be forgotten experience.
Part of what makes our experiences so special is that we deliver access to both famous and emerging artists’ studios through the strong relationships we have developed over the years. Our guests will enjoy studio visits and intimate discussions with well-respected artists, gallerists, curators, collectors and leaders in the Art World.
Beyond exclusive access to Zeitz MOCAA, we will also arrange private curator-led visits to well-known South African galleries such as Goodman Gallery, Stevenson, SMAC, Everard Read Gallery, Gallery MOMO, WHATIFTHEWORLD to name a few. We can plan exclusive visits in the residences of private collectors, showcasing their outstanding collections.
We also have the network to provide extended itineraries that could include the likes of the Joburg Art Fair (specifically scheduled a week before the Zeitz MOCAA Preview), the International Conference on African Cultures at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Harare (specifically timed between the Joburg Art Fair and the Zeitz MOCAA Preview), a Big 5 safari or a visit to any of our neighbouring countries or islands, such as Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania or Zanzibar.
To ensure that we can create your ideal trip and secure your first choice in bookings, accommodation and activities, your planning process should begin in early 2017. We will closely consider your wishes and, after discussing add-on possibilities and your group profile, we will respond within a week with an outline and proposed itinerary.
