"The after-hours special showcase was first tested in January 2024 on the sidelines of the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament hosted and won by Cote d'Ivoire."
"It is about creating opportunities to encounter art beyond specific occasions, and fostering the idea of visiting not only to buy but to immerse oneself in the artist's world."
"Since 2022, MuCAT has hosted the Africa Foto Fair, and the Marche des Arts du Spectacle d'Abidjan holds its 14th edition later this month."
The Night of the Galleries in Abidjan allowed art enthusiasts to explore galleries and museums until midnight. This initiative, part of Abidjan art week, aims to enhance art accessibility. Launched during the Africa Cup of Nations, the event has expanded to various city locations. The art week encourages visitors to engage with art beyond purchasing, fostering a deeper connection with artists. Abidjan is emerging as a key player in the contemporary West African art scene, alongside Dakar, with growing local art collectors and events like the Africa Foto Fair.
