Established in 2009, Gallery Miriam specializes in the promotion of works by young artists from French-speaking Africa. Many of the young artists presented are award winners of European and Asian competitions. Their works hang on the walls of homes and galleries from Europe to Asia and offer a glimpse of their countries of origin. While we specialize in art from French-speaking Africa, we also include works from the rest of the continent and the diaspora.

Africa is well known for its sculptures and masks. Yet, while African paintings have helped bridge culture between Africa, Europe and Asia, very little has come to the United States, especially from non-English speaking Africa. 

We began searching for a means to present the works of young African artists and, through them, to offer a glimpse of their countries of origin, because art is a mirror of a society. While we specialize in Art from French-speaking Africa, other unique objects by emerging artists and designers from all parts of sub-Saharan Africa will be featured on this site.  Be sure to catch our featured artists and spot sales that will be presented each month.
