Once again South Africa’s only mobile visual art and design cross over award takes art to the public. This catalogue marks the second SA Taxi Foundation Art Award, an innovation marrying the world of art, design and taxis. The award is unique in the South African visual arts community in that it requires artists to create a piece of visual art and then interpret it for use as a decal on minibus taxis. The broader public is exposed to art via minibus taxis that carry the decal design on a range of routes across the country.
