Theme and Vision:
In its 11th year, the AfriKin Art Fair continues to serve as a dynamic platform for African and African Diaspora art, culture, and conversation. The 2025 edition invites artists and audiences into a profound encounter with the role of creation in the human search for meaning. Under the theme “Through Creation, We Find Meaning: Exploring the Soul’s Voice Through Art,” this year’s fair draws inspiration from global thinkers and revolutionaries whose lives and writings reflect the transformative power of creative expression in times of suffering, solitude, and struggle. It invites artists and audiences to examine how artistic creation becomes a conduit for purpose, a remedy for suffering, and a portal to transcendence.
Submission Guidelines:
We invite artists from Global Africa and its Diasporas to submit works that resonate with the theme. We are looking for submissions that not only reflect the artists’ unique perspectives but also embody the interconnectedness of art, life, and the cosmos. Submissions can span a wide range of mediums including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and digital art.
To submit, please provide the following:
Artist bio and statement reflecting on the theme.
High-resolution images of the work(s) you wish to submit.
A detailed description of each work, including medium, dimensions, framed, or unframed retail prices of any attached images, and year of creation.
Any relevant context or narrative behind the work(s).
Deadline for Submissions:
All submissions must be received by August 1, 2025. Selected artists will be notified by September 1, 2025, and will receive further information on exhibition logistics and promotion.
Why Participate?
The AfriKin Art Fair is more than an exhibition; it is a celebration of the rich tapestry of African artistry and its profound impact on the global stage. Participating artists will have the unique opportunity to showcase their work to an international audience, engage with fellow artists and curators, and contribute to the vibrant cultural exchange that defines Miami Art Week/Art Basel.
