Following a successful International Women’s Day event held at the Joburg Theatre last Wednesday 8 March, the ARMC is set to be a level up from any other local showcases. The focus territory for this year’s edition will be on Dutch artists that will collaborate, engage and work with South African talent, while executives are guaranteed a top level opportunity to connect. Valuable supporting partners of the event will shine through on both days.
