Alexandre Tilmans Entrepreneur Baz-Art South African Street Artists

 

Alexandre Tilmans is the Director and Co-founder of Baz-Art, and has numerous years of business expertise running a thriving internationally active arts organisation.

Baz-Art’s annual flagship event is Africa’s largest public art festival - the International Public Art Festival - which has expanded Cape Town’s economic and social development. Baz-Art’s success is tangible with the NGO receiving the award “Business of the Year” at the Cap40 annual Business Awards, with Alexandre Tilmans subsequently also being the recipient of “Entrepreneur of the Year”.

In 2019 Baz-Art received the BASA award and was also featured in the 2020 CNN street art documentary titled ‘Street Arts in Africa’. The new addition to Baz-Art’s offering - the Public Art Conference - launched in March 2022, will also feature on a Momint’s documentary.

Baz-Art employs close to 200 people annually.

In our chat we cover lots of aspects of the interface between art and business which I am sure you will find interesting.
