Dakar, capital of contemporary African art
In 1966, Dakar hosted the 1st World Festival of Negro Arts. Since then, the Senegalese capital has never ceased to confirm its richness and dynamism in contemporary African art.
Thus, in the spirit of Léopold Sédar Senghor and inspired by the great statesman, Dakar offers the face of a resolutely active cultural capital, both proud of its origins and totally open to contemporary creation.
Dakar's artistic and cultural scene is making a name for itself on the African continent and beyond.
Museums, art galleries and Arts Village in Dakar
Galleries, concept stores showcasing local crafts, artists' residences, places for reflection and research - all these spaces dedicated to artistic creation contribute to Dakar's vitality and reinforce its international reputation as a must-see artistic capital. The Biennale d'art contemporain africain (Biennial of Contemporary African Art), held every two years, brings together countless talented artists from the African continent.
