Cape Town’s 3rd Annual Southern Ink Xposure 2012 Convention takes place from Friday 28th January to Sunday 30th January 2011 at their new home, the Pavilion Conference Centre at the V&A Waterfront.

This year the show promises even more top international artists, including artists from Taiwan and China, an expanded art exhibition programme, more concerts, more vendors, more competitions, and a bigger entertainment programme on the convention floor.

The doors will open from 17:00 on Friday, 11:00 on Saturday | Sunday and will close at 23:00 on Friday | Saturday and 18:00 on Sunday.

Prices are R100p/p @ Computicket | R120p/p @ door | R250p/p @ VIP all weekend package which will give you unrestricted access for all 3 days and access to all after parties.
