about us

The Jeanetta Blignaut Art Consultancy leads original collaborative projects with contemporary artists – creating a platform for South Africa’s established and most exciting emerging talent.

With a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Stellenbosch University, Director, Jeanetta Blignaut has initiated numerous collaborations with fine artists, bead makers, mosaicists and ceramicists with a view to creating important contemporary art collections for a host of local and international companies. This collaborative approach, coupled with an experienced selection strategy, results in visually dynamic, thought provoking and inviting corporate environments. Determined to develop the local art industry in a meaningful way, the Jeanetta Blignaut Consultancy also encourages companies to establish active art programmes that immerse cultures and challenge stereotypes, while simultaneously communicating the company's corporate culture and vision.

“That which is of value, which we inherit from past generations and in turn pass onto future generations is art, literature, music and architecture. The work of politicians and businessmen all disappear but art is immortal. This is because the arts sustain and define our human spirit, - unite all humanity and link us with the divine.” Dick Enthoven, shareholder in Hollard and Spier and one of South Africa’s most passionate art patrons.
