Kó

kó is an art space in Lagos, Nigeria, that’s dedicated to promoting modern and contemporary art. kó has a dual focus in championing Nigeria’s leading artists from the modern era and celebrating emerging and established contemporary artists across Africa and the diaspora. kó was established by Kavita Chellaram, an art collector and founder of Arthouse Contemporary in Lagos, who has been a major force in developing the modern and contemporary art market in Nigeria. In 2015, she established the Arthouse Foundation, a non-profit artist residency programme in Lagos that has since organized over thirty residencies.
