Special Projects

The Turbine Art Fair runs special projects specifically focused on showcasing emerging artists: TAF Unearthed – those who have been through our rigorous mentorship programme, TAF Talent – showcasing top graduates from tertiary institutions, and TAF Off the Grid – a space for mid-career artists not currently represented by a gallery. Founder and director Glynis Hyslop explains

“Each of these gives collectors access to artists not yet in the gallery or collective world.”

We also run TAF Paper during the year – a showcase of affordable artworks on paper by selected independent artists. and have recently added TAF Capsule – considers what it may be like to rethink the conventional approach to investing, by selling ‘pieces’ of a larger artwork by a well-known artist who is often only accessible to the few people who can afford it.
