ITINÉRAIRES ARTISTIQUES DE SAINT-LOUIS

Founded in 2013 by the Senegalese artists association Ndar Creations and under the auspices of the Senegalese Ministry of Culture, this annual Saint-Louis cultural exhibition quickly established itself as a major event on the Senegalese art scene.

The Cuomo Foundation has been associated with the event since 2020 and was the principal sponsor of the 8th edition of ‘Les Itineraires Artistique de Saint-Louis 2022’, which was held between 7 May to 10 June,2022. The title and main theme of this year’s exhibition was «Intergenerational Artistic Encounters and Cultural Diversity”, and it included 65 pieces of multidisciplinary artwork, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and digital art, created by 35 artists from Senegal, the Gambia, and Mauritania. With 1,625 visitors and several paintings sold, the exhibition was a great success this year. In addition to offering experienced African artists the opportunity to exhibit their works, meet art critics, collectors, dealers and gallery owners, parallel workshops for school students were organised; enabling young people to explore artistic practices with skilled artists and to also raise their awareness of environmental challenges.
