Latitudes Online is a global platform for art from Africa. The platform has been viewed in 208 countries, and has shipped artworks across the world. With over 1000 artists from the continent represented on the site, it is on its way to becoming the largest online platform for art from Africa.
As an online art marketplace and educational platform, Latitudes is the first of its kind to take a lateral and flexible approach to mediating art on the continent, according to which artists, galleries, independent curators, online entities, and institutions can experience equitable participation.
Our belief is that such a shift within our industry has been a long time coming, and will hopefully lead to a wider array of opportunities for artists and greater agency for the collector.
Africa is bursting with creative talent but has too few sustainable avenues to support practising artists. We invite you to join us in creating sustainable change for Africa's creative economy.
Latitudes Online visitors are culturally aware, globally minded, discerning and pleasure-seeking. They make up a demographic that is opportunity-focused: looking for art and design movements on the continent and further afield, collecting advice, retail trends and international travel.
