About us
For too long, Ethiopian art has remained a hidden gem, overshadowed by Western narratives, overlooked by collectors unfamiliar with its depth. Adulis Ethiopian Art is changing that. With a mission to discover, curate, and elevate Ethiopia’s best artists, Adulis Ethiopian Art is bridging the gap between Ethiopia’s rich artistic history and the world’s leading galleries, museums, and collectors. Through exhibitions, curated collections, and global partnerships, Adulis Ethiopian Art is ensuring that Ethiopian artists receive the recognition, respect, and opportunities they deserve. And this is just the beginning. For those who invest in one of the 100 limited prints, it won’t just be a piece of art in their collection. It will be a piece of history.
