The African art gallery displays unique works in an original building, selling curiosities and a range of fabulous, eclectic collection of art, antiquities such as ritual masks, bronzes, textiles, Ashanti wooden stools from Ghana, West African jewellery and clothes.

 

The proprietor imports artwork from various African countries including Mali, Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana.

As you approach the arts complex the first sign of art is the building itself! This is a one-of-a-kind structure with the frontage featuring silver and ochre coloured tubular pillars and decorated black handrails that adorn the centre.

Aside from the divers art collection on display there is also a hairdressing salon and a restaurant called the the YOK Art Cafe.
