Information:
 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 YOSH Art Cafe.
If you are an African art connoisseur and wish to take home
special souvenirs and
antiques offering better long-term value than the usual tourist
craft purchases from The Gambia, then the African Living Art
Centre should be on of you first places to visit.
