A community for
going further
The Art Kelen Circle brings together collectors, professionals and enthusiasts who want to follow, understand and deepen their knowledge of contemporary African art.
It is not simply a subscription. It is another way of discovering, understanding and supporting contemporary African art.
The Art Kelen Circle was born from the desire to create a space for sharing around the artists, works and scenes of contemporary African art, built on curiosity, exchange and transmission.
Through the Letter, the monthly report, editorial content, privileged access to works and encounters, the Circle lets you follow what is happening in the sector, understand how it is changing, and discover artists beyond their works.
