We Are Professional Artist In Nigeria

Art Alliance Group comprises various art groups and individuals with a common driving passion to see rapid development of the visual arts’ sector.

Our Vision

To establish a one-stop international standard event for engaging with the arts, the artists, art galleries and dealers, tourism practitioners,
cultural promoters, academicians and researchers, art promoters ,art lovers and collectors, students and the general public.
To creating and establish platforms for synergising the potentials of all members of the sector towards building a stronger industry.

Our Aim

To create that one-umbrella platform for all stakeholders and participators of the visual arts sector to further synergise in order to grow this sector into an industry, thereby serving as a catalyst for growth and development of the local economy.
To become the preferred platform for the visual arts community in Nigeria. We hope to become the preferred platform for independent artists, designers and consumers of visual arts’ products.

Our Goals

To push the frontiers of Nigerian artistic potential into global recognition.
To create an international standard event to boost Nigeria’s tourism potential.
To create a platform to showcase the aesthetic values and potentials of Nigerian arts and artists.
To encourage youths to take up careers in the creative arts by motivating them to see the arts as a serious profession and a profitable enterprise.
To draw attention to the arts as a veritable tool for sustainable development.
To create a platform that presents export opportunities for the creative industries.

All members since inception have been committing their time, as well as their financial, human and social network resources in order to be able to push this vision through. We are at the moment calling for more members, partners and supporters. We, the members, are tired of waiting for the elusive ‘other’ people to help us develop our sector. We have erroneously looked to the govt and its organisations to rise up to their responsibility. With the arrival of this artist-run group we are taking our sector into our own hands. All who have a passion for the growth of the visual arts’ sector are welcome to join us. This group is not restricted to artists alone. Registration is by sending an email to: artalliance51@gmail.com. Registration is free.
