The Countervail

The Countervail is a contemporary art gallery based in Abuja, Nigeria committed to representing emerging and mid-career African artists. The gallery offers a dynamic approach to presenting local and regional talents, while showcasing a diverse range of artistic voices and perspectives, countering the notion of a monolithic African art scene. Through a range of outlets such as exhibitions, pop ups, art fairs, intercultural dialogues and our online media, we promote the visual arts in our community by contributing to curated experiences, local educational efforts and supporting regional and international art institutions.
