ABOUT US
mission and ethos
African Art Scene is a fine art consultancy that specializes in building African art collections for local and global clients with the goal of growing their investments. We provide comprehensive fine art advising and services to private collectors and businesses, with a focus on African art and the art of the African diaspora. We have a deep understanding of each artist’s process and practice, and pride ourselves on building strong relationships with both artists and galleries to present a holistic picture of the artist and their work. Our primary focus is on strategically advising our clients to grow their collections for investment purposes, while also fostering a love and passion for art as a whole.
African Art Scene is founded by Chantel Woodman, who is a practicing artist herself and who understands the formalities and structure of living a creative life successfully. As a woman of colour she leads the company through forward-thinking and a creative output that holds true to the needs of an art industry that requires challenges and questions in today’s Africa. Chantel’s passion for her country and its people fuel the company’s mission to create an inclusive, creative platform providing support and guidance to artists and encouraging art collections that showcase Africa’s finest art.
