Our Story, Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Imvelo Studios is dedicated to advancing contemporary African art by providing a platform for artists to exhibit, connect, and grow. We believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to bridge cultures, inspire dialogue, and create lasting impact.
A Space Born from Passion
Founded in Lusaka, Zambia, Imvelo Studios emerged from a deep commitment to celebrating and elevating African artistic expression. Our gallery serves as a meeting point for artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts from across the continent and beyond.
The name "Imvelo" draws from African languages, reflecting our connection to nature, origin, and the authentic expression of identity. We believe that art is a powerful medium for storytelling, cultural preservation, and social commentary.
Today, we continue to expand our reach, hosting exhibitions, residencies, and events that foster creative exchange and support the next generation of African artists.
