Accra is set to transform into a canvas of creativity and cultural expression as the city gears up for Accra Cultural Week, a vibrant celebration bringing together artists, galleries, collectors, and enthusiasts from across Ghana and beyond.
From large-scale exhibitions to intimate pop-up showcases, the weeklong series of events will turn the capital’s creative spaces-from Osu to Nima, Labone to East Legon, into hubs of visual storytelling, performance, and dialogue.
Curated under a shared vision of connecting through culture, it promises a diverse lineup of art fairs, gallery openings, film screenings, live performances, and community art projects, reflecting the city’s growing reputation as a continental centre for contemporary art.
Whether you’re a seasoned art lover or a curious first-timer, Culture Joint has compiled a comprehensive guide to the must-see exhibitions and cultural happenings shaping this year’s Accra Cultural Week, your ultimate roadmap to experience Ghana’s art scene at its boldest and most inspiring.
