Berman Contemporary

Berman Contemporary is a female-led contemporary art gallery in Johannesburg, founded in 2016 by Candice Berman, with a focus on the representation, support and empowerment of women artists. Our curatorial programme encompasses a broad spectrum of genres and media, including sculpture, painting, video, photography and installation.

The Berman Contemporary exhibition programme offers an art experience that celebrates the innovative and expressive lens of contemporary art. The gallery brings together emerging and established female talents from around the country, representing a generation of women creatives from the southern hemisphere who are standing up and expressing their voices by embracing their narratives and ancestral practices, all the while cherishing their values and belonging.

Berman Contemporary offers our women artists an ongoing mentorship programme to support their artistic development and growth within the international art ecosystem, whereafter we collaboratively shape ideas on how to present their artistic output in a unique and interactive way. This ongoing support is a process of discovery and playfulness through continuous, generative engagement, which acts as a catalyst for interconnectedness with a wide range of art collectors and other talented forces.
