ABOUT ART SCHOOL AFRICA'S COLLECTORS' CLUB

The Art School Africa Collectors' Club is an inclusive network for those passionate about contemporary African art. Rooted in research and driven by community, it offers a rare opportunity to connect with the continent’s creative pulse and be part of a new wave of collectors shaping its future from within.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

While contemporary African art is gaining global momentum, its long-term future depends on a strong, informed collector base at home. The Collectors' Club supports this by empowering local collectors and strengthening the continent’s art ecosystem — ensuring it remains resilient, self-sustaining, and rooted in African soil, even as it flourishes on the world stage.
