(Lagos, Nigeria, Embargoed until April 18, 2026) Nigeria’s latest creative industry collaboration between SMO Contemporary Art, a leading art gallery and ARAMI, a fine dining rooftop restaurant, kicks off with the opening of CELEBRATION, a curatorial project merging the best of art and gastronomy.
As the art market continues to struggle to stay buoyant, creative projects such as CELEBRATION, pave the way for the placement of modern and contemporary master pieces within exciting new hospitality spaces which are helping to position Lagos as a global culture, food and art hub.
The exhibition brings together fifteen contemporary and modern artists from Nigeria, Uganda, Cameroon, South Africa and the Diaspora, with paintings, sculptures, textiles and light based media from the primary and secondary art market.
