Welgemeend Art Month returns with major exhibition and bold new pledge fund

The 2025 edition of Welgemeend Art Month (6 August – 5 September), now in its twelfth year, reaffirms its commitment to the long-term preservation of the historic Welgemeend homestead, home to Cape Town’s much-loved winter arts festival.

Welgemeend Art Month announces the title and focus on their anchor exhibition for 2025 

Drawing on the extensive Kilbourn Collection of modern and contemporary South African art, the exhibition In en Om Ons/ In and Around Us explores what it means to be an artist working after the advent of photography. The exhibition – a cornerstone of Welgemeend Art Month, now in its 12th year – will feature select paintings and photographs from the Kilbourn Collection that explore ideas of subjectivity, consciousness, home, play and work.
