The two-day programme brings together a series of talks, a lifestyle market, plus exclusive, limited-access performances by artists William Kentridge and Gregory Maqoma. Events will be hosted at the Centre for the Less Good Idea in the heart of Maboneng. And we want to see you there. So much so, that we tapped into our friends both in the art world and within the city and have curated bespoke two-day, one-night packages to facilitate your art weekend jaunt.
Enjoy a weekend pass to BMW Art Generation, stay over at a hotel or perhaps a penthouse, enjoy a specially curated walking tour of Maboneng and eat at the legendary Marabi Club. All of our experiences enjoy a 20% discount off the retail cost of the offering – let us save you money and the hassle of organising it all. This is what we have arranged for you, but be quick, we only have a limited number of each package available.
