Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Minister of Finance Wale Edun, and founder of Stanbic IBTC, Atedo Peterside, were among dignitaries from the public and private sectors who graced the art exhibition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Art X Lagos on Friday.

Art X Lagos is the premier international art fair in West Africa, founded by Tokini Peterside, daughter of Atedo Peterside, as a platform to celebrate and champion contemporary culture from Africa and its diaspora.

Since its establishment in 2016, the platform has become a global destination, drawing artists and galleries from over 70 countries and participants from more than 170 nations, making the annual fair a major feature on the global art and culture calendar.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who attended the 10th fair, wrote on his social media accounts:

“I attended the opening night of the 10th edition of ART X Lagos, and it was inspiring to witness the incredible talent and creativity that continue to make Lagos the heart of contemporary African art.

“Congratulations to the organisers, artists, and everyone who brought this milestone edition to life. The energy and passion on display reaffirm why our city is truly a hub for culture and innovation.”
