Lizaad Gallery is dedicated to discovering and representing emerging innovative artists pushing the boundaries in their practice, resident in the eastlands of Nigeria. Through exhibitions, talks, and cultural programming, we aim to reinvigorate appreciation for contemporary art and promote indigenous creativity within the region.

Our curatorial vision focuses on supporting talented young artists, allowing them to develop their practices while gaining visibility. We are deeply invested in ensuring the vibrant artistic perspectives stemming from our communities find expression globally. Our programs contextualize cutting-edge artwork within the evolving philosophies, histories, and traditions of this diverse geographic location.

Our educational events foster understanding of how contemporary art intersects with society, shaping culture and thought. We believe nurturing new talent and providing community platforms for exchange are crucial for artistic growth.

By bridging urban hubs and artistic lineages across eastern Nigeria, we enable audiences to engage with creativity flourishing in the region today. Our vision supports talents as they navigate and impact the broader art world.
