July will see the year's largest explosion of art in South Africa: in Grahamstown, the National Festival of Arts opens on June 1, with everyone waiting to see just what Standard Bank Young Artist Alan Alborough will produce; in Durban, every single space and artist seems connected to the international AIDS conference which takes place July 9 - 14; and in Johannesburg, the upcoming Urban Futures conference has spawned a number of art initiatives. This week, we publish previews of the Festival and the AIDS exhibitions.

Support is rolling in for the Reinstate the Johannesburg Biennale petition. Some letters appear in feedback today, and those names and all those who simply send only their names will be forwarded to the Department of Arts and Culture. If you haven't made your voice heard yet, read the petition and email us!
