aBOUT ART X LAGOS



ART X Lagos is the premier international art fair in West Africa, and a dynamic platform created to showcase and support contemporary culture from Africa and its diaspora. Since its launch in 2016, the fair has emerged as a global destination, drawing artists and galleries from over 70 countries, with attendees and participants from 170 nations worldwide, thus significantly expanding Lagos' global cultural positioning.

ART X Lagos transcends conventional art fairs, through its ambitious programme which features immersive experiences spanning music, film, design and art, that centre the continent and diaspora’s exceptional talent, including keynote artists and speakers such as El Anatsui, Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Wangechi Mutu, Bruce Onobrakpeya, Ibrahim Mahama and more. The fair’s annual award for emerging artists out of Africa and its diaspora, the Access ART X Prize, is the leading art prize in Nigeria, preparing its winners for the highest levels of success on the global stage. ART X Lagos is today a cornerstone of the African art sector, working as a transformative cultural catalyst committed to the redefinition of the Africa narrative.

The ninth edition of ART X Lagos will be held from October 31st to November 2024.
