About Us: Why Discover Art?
Discover Art was founded with a single goal: to bridge the gap between South African artists and art lovers looking for something unique, meaningful, and inspiring. We believe that art is an essential part of our cultural fabric, one that has the power to change perspectives, evoke emotions, and bring beauty to everyday life.
Our Story
Discover Art is an inspiring offshoot of Discover Pretoria East, born from a passion for art and a vision to build a dedicated platform where artists can be celebrated for their unique talents and dedication. South Africa’s art scene is incredibly vibrant, diverse, and constantly evolving, yet countless artists face challenges in gaining the exposure they deserve. Discover Art was created to bridge that gap, offering artists a digital space to showcase their work and connect with a community of art lovers who truly appreciate their craft. Here, artists can reach new audiences, share their stories, and find a supportive environment to grow and thrive.

Our Vision and Mission
a platform that unites communities and BUILDS connections through ART
Our vision is to create a community that appreciates the transformative power of art. We aim to support emerging and established artists, giving them the tools and visibility they need to grow. By showcasing their work, we hope to inspire collectors and art lovers to see beyond the surface, delving into the stories and emotions behind each piece. Our mission is simple: to make art accessible, build a supportive artist community, and build meaningful connections. We are dedicated to celebrating South African creativity and making high-quality, authentic artwork available to all.
Discover Art began as a passion project by Debra Langley, inspired by her experiences with Discover Pretoria East and her love for South Africa’s vibrant art scene. Recognising the wealth of untapped talent, Debra envisioned a platform where artists from all walks of life could showcase their work, gain visibility, and connect with art lovers across the country.
Discover Art was born from this vision, creating an online space dedicated to celebrating diverse forms of art, providing a platform for local artists, and bringing art to the forefront of everyday life in South Africa.
South Africa’s art landscape is rich and diverse, yet many talented creators remain underrepresented. Discover Art aims to change this by providing local and emerging artists with a space to shine.
We believe that each artist’s work offers a unique narrative, and our mission is to share these stories with a broader audience, bridging the gap between artists and those who appreciate their creativity and skill. We curate our collections with a careful eye for originality, quality, and the individual voice of each artist. At Discover Art, you’ll find a diverse selection that reflects the spirit and creativity of South African art, tailored to suit different tastes, spaces, and preferences.
Our collection spans various artistic expressions, ensuring that art lovers can find something meaningful, from bold statements to subtle pieces that add depth to any setting. Each piece on our platform is handpicked to inspire, evoke emotion, and bring a touch of South African artistry into your life.
Art has the power to bring people together, and Discover Art is committed to fostering a vibrant community of creators and collectors. We don’t just showcase art; we create connections. Whether you’re an artist wanting to share your journey or an art enthusiast looking for a new favourite piece, our platform offers an inclusive space for interaction, appreciation, and growth.
By supporting Discover Art, you’re joining a community that celebrates creativity and recognises the unique role that art plays in uniting people from all backgrounds.
Art is about exploration, discovery, and personal expression. Discover Art is designed to make the experience of finding new artwork engaging and accessible for everyone.
