"It’s a pleasure to work with Julia, the founder of Art School Africa. ASA curated both the Investec Cape Town Art Fair Talks and Art Walks Programme. Julia is professional, goes above and beyond, and brings creativity to everything she does. She always comes up with the best concepts and collaboration ideas."

"Julia played a key role in developing our art strategy and producing our Summer Exhibition. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the highest standards are met and adapts quickly to rapidly changing briefs. Working with her has been a pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services."

"It has been a true pleasure collaborating with Julia Buchanan over the years across a variety of creative and academic initiatives. Julia brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, strategic thinking, and impeccable taste to every project she undertakes. Whether working together on industry-leading fashion and cultural initiatives or through our shared work with Art School Africa at Harvard University, Julia has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, authenticity, and meaningful storytelling.


With the launch of Buchanan & Co., she brings her signature elegance and thoughtful curation to a new platform that is destined to make its mark. Julia has an innate ability to connect people, ideas, and aesthetics in ways that are deeply resonant and forward-thinking. I have no doubt that Buchanan & Co. will become a beacon of creativity, purpose, and refined design under her leadership."

"I had the pleasure of working with Julia Buchanan in September 2025 when I contacted her to assist with an event I organised for a corporate client. The event was the 75th Gala Awards evening for a prestigious club of an international bank. Delegates flew to Cape Town to celebrate this important milestone. As part of the theme for the awards and gala dinner, which was "Youth, Arts & Culture," I asked Julia to support with an exhibition of artworks by young, up-and-coming South African artists.


Julia presented a beautiful and well-curated portfolio of local artists and a special exhibition from Art School Africa for the evening. The artworks she selected were perfect for the event and were exquisitely displayed across five rooms, allowing the delegates to move from room to room, enjoy each display, and learn more about each artist. Additionally, she provided a beautiful pocket-sized brochure showcasing the artists and their work, which the delegates could take home.


I was truly pleased with Julia’s choices and the professional, effective manner in which she prepared for the exhibition from start to finish. Everything was extremely well organised, and the end result was nothing short of spectacular. Julia is a pleasure to work with, and I would not hesitate to contact her again or recommend her to anyone seeking support in a similar capacity."
