I Reveal
Giving artists a stage.
Every year we discover talent in studios, schools and biennials across the continent, and give them the means to exhibit, sell and be documented.

01 The institute
Our vision
We believe African art is not told through patterns but through gazes: those of the artists, the artisans and the audiences who meet them.
A gallery, exhibition venue and cultural platform, Fadelle Institut supports artists, advises collectors and opens its doors to every audience.
