African Arts

African Arts African Arts is an online gallery. We have original paintings, wall art, photos and prints. It's an This project started in January 2022.

We help African artists promote their work to the international community. Many artists all over Africa don’t have regular access to a computer, computer know-how and a payment system or do not know how to promote their work to the world outside of their local community. We are currently using Social Media to promote artists and their work. We have an online shop where original paintings and print

s can be purchased. IAs the portfolio grows, we will produce printed catalogues with details of artists and their work, and we hope to be able to arrange exhibitions all over the world. These are the early days for this project; through Facebook, we will keep our story updated and continue to post new work. Please FOLLOW us and SHARE with your groups to help us promote African Art and Culture. The depths and history of African Art and Culture are mostly unknown outside of their local communities. Common international teaching of African culture (outside of Africa) only dates back to Egyptian times; through art, discoveries can be made; this project aims to promote interest in and discovery of African Art and Culture.
