Art Galleries In Lagos You Can Visit This Weekend

Art galleries in Lagos are in abundance and an excellent hub for creatives. As Lagos is the culture central for everything that is happening in the country, it is impossible to leave out arts and culture. The food, the concerts, and parties? Top tier, so why should galleries be any different?

Art plays a prominent role in our culture. The celebration of art in fact, like every other thing that you celebrate, goes on further to preserve it’s very essence. Nigeria celebrates art in a cultural and ethnocentric way, promoting the creativity of young and old artists. If we are keeping it a buck though, most young people go to art shows for the aesthetic. Don’t hide, don’t run, you’ve been caught.

Art enthusiasts move together in throngs, quietly gazing upon painted canvases, admiring watercolors, staring passionately at sculptures, smiling and nodding at performance art and there’s you;

Snatching wine glasses off servers and arching your back for that Instagram pic. No shade please, all of us dey do am.

The galleries in Lagos are really just perfect. Art shows with perfectly curated paintings and sculptures are bound to instantly spark funny and intellectual conversations. Two birds, one stone! This is definitely an interesting place to go for dates.
