African Artists Foundation (AAF)

African Artists Foundation in Victoria Island represents one of Lagos' key spaces for discovering contemporary art and supporting emerging creative voices. Located at 3B Isiola Oyekan Close, just off Adeleke Adedoyin Street, this gallery sits in the heart of one of Lagos' most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether you are a seasoned art collector, a curious cultural enthusiast, or simply someone looking to spend time experiencing something meaningful, AAF offers a welcoming environment to engage with the evolving landscape of African contemporary art. The gallery's focus on emerging artists and contemporary work means that visiting here gives you access to fresh perspectives and innovative artistic expressions that are shaping the current conversation around African art. Rather than showcasing established names exclusively, AAF prioritizes bringing forward new voices and experimental approaches to various media and artistic practices. This commitment to emerging talent creates an electric atmosphere where you never quite know what artistic direction or bold new work you might encounter. The programming reflects a genuine investment in nurturing the next generation of artists while offering visitors the unique opportunity to engage with work before it gains wider recognition. When you visit, you can expect a thoughtfully curated space where the intimacy of the gallery allows for a genuine connection with the artworks on display. The atmosphere encourages you to take your time and develop your own relationship with what you are seeing. The gallery maintains generous hours throughout the week, opening at 11:00 AM on Mondays and extending its availability through Sunday evenings when it closes at 7:00 PM, making it accessible whether you prefer a weekday visit or weekend exploration. Tuesday through Saturday offer the fullest hours from late morning through early evening, giving you plenty of flexibility to plan your visit around your schedule. Coming to AAF is not just about viewing art but about stepping into a space that actively participates in Lagos' cultural conversation and contributes to the visibility and sustainability of contemporary African artistic practice.
