Absa has long been a dedicated participant in the development of arts and culture in South Africa, boasting the largest corporate art collection in the Southern Hemisphere and the second largest in the world. With a motto “Creativity takes courage”, it’s no surprise that South Africa’s biggest and longest running art competition, Absa L’Atelier is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. At the Design Indaba Expo, a retrospective of the Absa L’Atelier will be on show. Entries for Absa L’Atelier 2010 will open from 1 to 5 March.
