Founded in 2012, and based in Nairobi, Kenya, Circle promotes contemporary art from Eastern Africa. Our intention is to create a strong and sustainable art market for East African artists by supporting and promoting the most innovative and exciting artists currently practicing in the region. Through group and solo exhibitions, as well as participation in international art fairs, the gallery has increased visibility for established and emerging artists, both internationally and at home. Working closely with regional and international collectors and curators, we are building a strong and sustainable market for East African artists. In response to the current global crisis, we are adapting our programming and enhancing our online platforms to continue promoting challenging and thought-provoking contemporary art from East Africa.
