About Us
The Accra Art Week is the flagship event of the art advisory company Indelible Arts. Led by its founder Edwin Otta, the executive board is made up of a dynamic array of professionals from across multiple industries. The advisory board that provides guidance to the executive board is comprised of artists, educators, and business executives who all share an equal desire to see the Accra art scene thrive.
Conceptualised in 2018 and launched in 2019 at the Kempinski Galleria Mall, Accra; the Accra Art Week platform connects and promotes art institutions and artists in Accra to strengthen the city’s ecosystem thereby providing a cohesive tool for engaging with local, regional and international audiences.
During each year AAW curates a week-long city-wide immersive event series, featuring exhibitions + pop-ups, talks, performances, screenings, workshops and tours (of select galleries, studios, and cultural spaces). Its existence is testament to Accra’s position as a leading art destination in Africa.
The Beginning
2021
Post-Covid the Accra Art Week was relaunched under the theme ‘’Future Heritage’’ acknowledging the remnants of our past then provided a gateway for us to examine and explore an evolving future.
2022
The theme for Accra Art Week 2022 was Shaping The Narrative which meant to embody the history and embrace the past to shape a new reality that serves our own purpose.
2025
This year, the guiding theme is ‘’Borderless!’’ which is to highlight that Art is a universal language that goes beyond geographical, language and national boundaries. Through music, fashion, film and fine art we explore the power of art to break down such divisions.
