Join us at The 2013 Winter Sculpture Fair presented by MasterCard, for a day of contemporary art combined with the best food and wine in the country. This is the perfect excuse to get out of the city, and spend the day in one of Gauteng’s most spectacular outdoor venues.

Over the weekend of 4 and 5 May 2013, the acclaimed NIROX Sculpture Park will be transformed into a contemporary wonderland, with larger-than-life sculptures dotted across the landscape, creating the ideal background for a social marketplace.

Artlogic have partnered with Franschhoek to bring the town’s top chefs and wine producers to Johannesburg, thus creating an unmatched culinary experience in Gauteng. Expect a day of top-end exclusive meals, charcuterie, and wine and bubbly by the glass. There will also be a selection of wine and goods to take home, making this a great opportunity to stock up with quality produce for winter.

There is currently no single event in South Africa that focuses on sculpture, although the phenomenon is gaining momentum internationally with events such as Frieze Sculpture Park in New York.

At the Winter Sculpture Fair, you will be able to meander through the ‘After the Rainbow Nation: 2013’ exhibition curated by Mary Jane Darrol, which features iconic local works. What’s more, MasterCard and NIROX, together with Artlogic, have initiated the annual commissioning of a sculpture.

The luxurious Fair will be complemented by a high-end retail space, where visitors can browse top whiskeys, scarves, bags, teas, books and more in a stylish and cosy ‘Library’ environment.

After having successfully created the FNB Joburg Art Fair and Sanlam Investments FoodWineDesign Fair, Artlogic has been looking to create a new event that offers Gautengers an opportunity for a day out of the city. We see this as the perfect day trip, where discerning visitors can enjoy good food, wine and art, in a spectacular setting with friends and family.
