Art X Lagos to return for the 8th edition of its art fair this November
This year’s edition of the art fair which is scheduled to take place this November will happen from 2 - 5 November 2023 at The Federal Palace.
ART X Lagos, the leading international art fair in West Africa, in a recent announcement revealed that it will return this November for the 8th edition of its highly anticipated art fair.
Launched as a dynamic platform to showcase and support the breadth of contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora, ART X Lagos was founded in 2016 by Tokini Peterside-Schwebig and has held the ART X Fair annually since then.
ART X Lagos says the Fair is the first of its kind in West Africa and has since become a cornerstone of the African art industry. It also stated that it is “a unique cultural event that goes beyond the bounds of traditional art fairs and delivers several days of dynamic art experiences and events.”
Over the years, ART X Lagos has grown to host galleries and artists from over 40 countries and become renowned for its ambitious programme, which includes ART X Talks — a lively panel discussion series; ART X Live! — a one-of-a-kind showcase featuring collaborations between some of the fastest-rising artists and musicians on the African continent; as well as specially curated presentations and interactive projects.
These programmes have featured an array of emerging and established artists from the continent and diaspora, including keynote artists such as El Anatsui, Wangechi Mutu, Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, Yinka Shonibare CBE, and Hank Willis Thomas.
