ABOUT US
THE GLOBAL DIGITAL PLATFORM AND COMMUNITY FOR MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART FROM AFRICA
Pavillon 54 is the definitive digital platform dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and amplifying Modern and Contemporary African and Diaspora Art. Born from a vision to create the world’s premier ecosystem for African artistic expression, we connect artists, collectors, institutions, and art enthusiasts across continents.
OUR MISSION
We exist to develop the first and foremost platform dedicated to the arts and culture of Africa-by Africans, for Africans, and for the world. Our mission transcends traditional boundaries, creating bridges between emerging talent and established collectors, between local communities and global audiences, between cultural heritage and contemporary innovation.
GLOBAL ART DISCOVERY & COMMUNITY
Our curated platform showcases carefully selected works from both emerging and established artists across Africa and its Diaspora, while fostering a worldwide network of artists, galleries, museums, collectors, and cultural institutions. We serve as both a comprehensive discovery resource and the meeting point where African art finds its rightful place in international discourse and cultural exchange.
Through our comprehensive artist database, events calendar, and gallery partnerships, we create a living archive of contemporary African artistic achievement, ensuring these voices and visions reach future generations.
Our expert advisory services guide collectors, institutions, and cultural organizations in navigating the African art landscape, providing valuable insights and connections within our extensive network.
Through our extensive digital resources, we bridge the information gap in African contemporary art; providing essential context through artist biographies, market insights, and cultural analysis.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where African and Diaspora artists receive the recognition, representation, and platform their talent deserves. Where collectors, institutions, and art enthusiasts worldwide seek African art not as exotic novelty, but as essential contemporary expression. Where the next generation of African artists has clear pathways to global visibility and cultural impact.
OWNING THE NARRATIVE
The global art world has historically undervalued and underrepresented African artistic voices. We’re changing that narrative. By providing a platform dedicated to discovery, documentation, and connection, we’re elevating the entire ecosystem and ensuring it receives the attention and respect it deserves.
