The National Arts Festival Featured Artist Award

Each year, the National Arts Festival celebrates the work of a Featured Artist – a South African artist who has consistently exhibited ground-breaking work and exceptional talent, helping to shape the arts narrative of the country. This is usually showcased at the Festival through a combination of previous and/or new works, forming a snapshot of their career in action.
