" Artists partner Art Trade Gallery for new narrative "

A new art gallery on the mainland, Art Trade Gallery, in Dopemu, Lagos is partnering some young artists to raise quality artworks for discerning collectors and buyers, Assistant Editor Arts OZOLUA UHAKHEME reports.

There is a renewed effort to reposition the Lagos art market to reverse the hitherto monopoly Lagos Island residents enjoyed due to the availability of facilities that house major arts events, especially visual art.

For decades, the usual movement has been for artists on the mainland to take their works to the island for exhibition. With the recent opening of the Art Trade Gallery at Dopemu, artists are beginning to drive art traffic to their neighbourhood.

Housed in the Mat&Mic Event Centre, the gallery offers unique and original artworks at prices generally considered as reasonable. It is designed to attract new lovers of art who are drawn to the aesthetic appeal of the works and are poised to acquire them. To create a variety of pieces, the gallery has collected works from both emerging and established artists who have showcased their skills in various media using diverse techniques.
