The RMB Latitudes Art Fair returns to Johannesburg from Friday, 24 – Sunday, 26 May for its second edition at the Shepstone Gardens with Lexus South Africa as its exclusive vehicle partner.
Notably the largest online marketplace for art from Africa, the RMB Art Fair offers visitors a unique experience that brings together the art community from across the diaspora and this year will prove no different.
Over the course of the Fair, visitors are in a for treat as Lexus will offer luxurious chauffeur driven experiences for all VIP guests as well as other guests in attendance. All guests will enjoy true Japanese hospitality (Omotenashi) firsthand in the obsessive RX, the futuristic NX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid as well as the bold and sleek ES. Lexus is synonymous with supporting artists across multiple disciplines and this year, the automaker will issue the prestigious ‘Lexus Best Stand Trophy’ – an accolade given to the most outstanding exhibitor presentation at the fair.
“Lexus is evolving with consumer tastes in luxury. Not only does it deliver designs with high visual impact, but the brand also develops ground-breaking engineering and technology. A passion we share with the exhibiting artists at the RMB Latitudes Art Fair,” says Lexus South Africa.
