ADA - THE NEXT CHAPTER
Following five transformative years as a physical gallery space, I am proud to announce the evolution of ADA into a new expansive chapter: now reimagined as ADA Contemporary. This new platform deepens our commitment to Africa’s artistic community while forging stronger connections with global audiences and institutions.
Since 2020, ADA Contemporary Art Gallery has played a pivotal role in positioning Accra as a significant cultural force on the international art map. Through groundbreaking programmes and exhibitions, our gallery gained widespread acclaim and attracted the likes of Tate Modern, The Serpentine, Zeitz MOCAA and the LVMH Foundation. Participation in major art fairs such as the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair cemented our influence as a leader in the African art market.
As we now transition from our physical home, our mission continues with renewed momentum. Operating as a borderless platform, ADA Contemporary will focus on strategic collaborations with institutions, brands, and cultural spaces. It will lead curatorial projects, advisory services, and community outreach programs designed to connect artists to far-reaching audiences. Central to ADA’s ethos are the artists - those we’ve worked with, those we are currently working with, and those we look forward to collaborating with in the future.
This new model will enable us to continue to engage in global exhibitions, institutional consulting, cross-disciplinary partnerships, and artistic-led initiatives—all anchored in ADA’s founding values of advocacy, mentorship, and cultural dialogue.
ADA Contemporary will maintain a vibrant digital presence through the website and our online platforms, serving as a point of connection for collectors, curators, artists, and collaborators. From Accra to the world, ADA’s journey continues—bold, borderless, and committed to shaping the future of contemporary art from Africa and beyond.
To our art community - our artists, visitors, collectors, collaborators, near and far - thank you for believing in what ADA stands for. Thank you for cheering us on and for bringing our space to life.
