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.
Directions:
From the Fajara
section of Kairaba Avenue take a right hand turn at
the Sabena Junction and go up the Garba Jahumpa Road
and go up for about 250 metres. The ALAC arts establishment
is situated on the left hand side of the road. |
