How it works

in 4 simple steps

1. Find the artwork you love.

Africa Collect curates personalized access to social and academic programs within South Africa’s fine art landscape. As a strategic partner to leading galleries and artists in Johannesburg and Cape Town, we offer collectors insights into the evolving contemporary art market

2. Complete the online application.

Our online application should take no longer than five minutes to complete. Upon completion, a credit assessment will be conducted to determine your eligibility for the requested loan. This measure ensures responsible lending practices, supporting collectors and institutions in their pursuit of meaningful acquisitions within the fine art sector.

3. Successful Applicants.

Following the successful completion of our assessment process, you will receive a personalized email outlining your pre-approved loan amount, suggested payment plan and curated insights into the selected artwork. 

4. Collect it – the Africa Collect way

Confirm your purchase with the partner gallery or artist. The Gallery or artist will provide an invoice as well as an image of the artwork and its relevant data to their Africa Collect portal. You will then need to pay a 10% deposit (on the discounted artwork) to Africa Collect and once paid, you can take your artwork home and begin paying it off monthly.
