Introducing Create Art Magazine – A Fresh Voice for South African Artists

​For several years, South African artists — particularly hobbyists, students, and independent creators — have been without a dedicated art magazine to call their own. We’ve missed a space that reflects our everyday creative journeys. That changes now.

​We’re proud to introduce Create Art Magazine — a free, bi-monthly digital publication created for South Africa’s growing community of artists.

This magazine is for those who paint on weekends, sketch on holidays, attend workshops, or sell their work at markets. It’s for the passionate beginner, the part-time professional, and the full-time creative alike. If you make art — or want to — this is for you.

Create Art Magazine brings together:
🎨 How-to articles and tutorials across oils, acrylics, watercolour, gouache, pastels, and drawing
🧪 Product reviews and comparisons for local and international materials
🖼️ Artist Spotlights to showcase inspiring South African creatives
📅 Events and workshops across the country
🔥Inspiration & Ideas When the world's cares drain our energy, fresh ideas inspire!
🌐 And a fully digital format with links to videos, audio, artist portfolios, and more — for a richer, connected experience

Why Now?
When The South African Artist print magazine closed a few years ago, a significant gap was left behind. Since then, the art community has continued to grow — but without a shared, dedicated platform to reflect it.
We believe Create Art Magazine fills that gap with fresh energy, accessibility, and a distinctly South African perspective.

The focus on a digital experience open up the magazine to an international audience too. This is now non-negotiable in our connected world. Through this magazine we can open another link to introduce our art to the world. Also, we will feature international artists from time-to-time to keep us inspired.

It’s About Creating
This magazine isn’t about prestige or the gallery elite — it’s about the joy of creating. We celebrate process, progress, and practice. We honour the daily, seasonal, and lifelong rhythms of art-making, no matter your level.
