Dear Patrons, Artists and Friends,

As we reflect on our achievements in 2022, we would like to thank you for the loyalty you showed us throughout last year. It was an eventful year for us and we’re glad we are able to share our achievements with you as we look forward to solidifying and growing our bond this new year.

Bwo Art invests a lot of its time and resources in creating new relationships around the world, from collectors to gallerists, artists, fair directors, writers and museum curators. Some highlights from last year include being able to attend the Venice Biennale, the Dakar Biennale, the Accra Cultural Week, The Armory Show, Frieze week London, Paris+ by Art Basel, Art Basel Miami, and the opening of Amoako Boafo’s artist residency Dot Ateliers in Accra, to cite a few.

In 2022, Bwo Art advised private collections, including foundations and private museums in the United States, China and Malaysia. We were fortunate to receive access to works by strong, visionary and highly sought artists, and like the previous year, we were able to place these works with collectors based principally in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.

In terms of artist management, we fulfilled our obligations towards our artists, as we were able to assist them in the preparation and execution of some successful shows, from Sesse Elangwe’s solo exhibitions Dawn (Houston) and If We Could Talk (Paris), to Emanuel Tegene’s solo exhibition Horny Bird (Dakar), Traits To Remember (Venice) featuring Sesse Elangwe and Bara Sketchbook, and In Situ: An Encounter Of Places (Lagos) featuring Ayanfe Olarinde and Sesse Elangwe. The cherry on the cake for us was ending 2022 with the group exhibition titled Still I Rise at Google’s headquarters in France, which was curated by Bwo Art’s co-founder Brice Yonkeu assisted by Maud Ntonga.

The year 2022 was good to us and we hope to keep having you by our corner to achieve greater things in 2023 as we reveal our new signings, upcoming shows featuring our artists and development plans for the future.

Our goal is to ensure that the experience of collecting art is a smooth and enjoyable one. Your love of art and satisfaction are what keep us going and motivated.

In 2023, we look forward to welcoming new clients for advisory and continue to provide our patrons with expert guidance and assistance in sourcing and securing artworks by leading or promising contemporary artists from Africa and its diaspora.

For this new year 2023, we wish you and your loved ones health and success in your endeavors.

Happy New Year!

Yours truly,
Noelle Mukete-Elhalaby & Brice Yonkeu
