One of the highlights of AfriKin

Global Africa’s Impact: Africa's immense wealth in culture, resources, and values is pivotal to the world.

It's no surprise that the continent continues to inspire contemporary artists globally. Every piece at AfriKin Art Fair tells a story, echoing the history, struggle, and triumphs of African civilizations and their diaspora.

North Miami Councilman Scott Galvin said: “The AfriKin Art Fair totally captures the essence of the African continent. I spent twelve days this summer visiting six African nations. Surrounded by physical beauty and great food, it was really the people who made the biggest impact on me. I'm so proud that North Miami will again host this year's show."

Highlighting AfriKin Art Fair’s Vision: AfriKin Art Fair 2023 is the nexus where art meets ideology, embracing Dr. Nkrumah’s vision of a united and self-reliant Africa. It’s a platform where attendees can experience the fusion of traditional and contemporary idioms, reflecting the continuity of communalism with socialism and the revolutionary transformation from colonialism to genuine independence.
