Amyafrique Art Gallery, founded by Nigerian entrepreneur Okpara Judith Amarachi, is set to open in Lagos next month as a platform for African creativity. Amarachi, who transitioned from careers in fashion, modeling, and aviation after a life-changing visit to a Lagos gallery, launched the brand in 2021 and has since achieved milestones including the sale of a ₦10 million sculpture.
The gallery's debut reflects rising global interest in Nigerian and African art, with private galleries increasingly providing space for local talent. Amarachi's story of resilience and reinvention positions Amyafrique as a cultural hub for emerging and established African artists, blending heritage preservation with modern expression.
