Over the past three years, ARTi Gallery has proudly hosted annual art competitions celebrating creativity and talent across South Africa.

The first two years saw the ARTi Gallery Art Competition (AGAC) reach a national scale, drawing over 700 entries from artists around the country.

In 2025, ARTi Gallery partnered with Making Dreams Come True in Africa NPC to host a special fundraising edition in support of the Wavepoint Foundation. The event, titled the Jeffreys Bay ARTi Competition (J-BAC), was open exclusively to artists from the Kouga region and made possible through the generous support of the Kouga Municipality, who sponsored R30,000 in cash prizes to celebrate and uplift local talent.
