Established in 1991 with the primary aim of promoting and preserving Africa's rich and diverse artistic heritage, the Nimbus Art Gallery grew in less than ten years, to become a major catalyst in the development of African art, culture and worldview.

In 2000 Nimbus moved from its spiritual home and birthplace on Ribadu rd to its present location on #10/12 maitama sule st Ikoyi Lagos. With this leap of faith, came the name; Nimbus Art Centre as this best described the scope and focus required to convert a dissused five bedroom house (on two plots of land) in to a modern art centre complete with three exhibition halls, three bars, two restaurants, a spacious garden, stage and a four room residency centre.
   The centre's vision is to influence the world one visitor at a time by breaking down; creative, ethnic and cultural barriers through the encouragement and promotion of man's freedom of expression. Whether you walk through our doors as a visiting artist, art buyer, wayfarer or if you world wide web, our wish is that your own peculiar Nimbus experience remains with you as you journey through life.

In addition to the promotion of the visual arts, the Centre is also devoted to supporting the performing arts encompassing music, theatre, dance and drama.

   The Concept of ‘Nimbus’ centres around a unique fusion of those special things that make life so irresistibly bearable that we continue the struggle, anxiously waiting for any opportunity to escape into that other world of fine wines, good food, art, music, dance and drama in surroundings best experienced than described.

   Our dream: Changing the world, one visitor at a time by breaking down; creative, ethnic, cultural and religious barriers through the encouragement and promotion of man’s freedom of expression.

   Whether you pass through our doors as; a visiting artist, art buyer, student or wayfarer eager to ‘wet his whistle’ before continuing his journey, our wish is that your own peculiar ‘Nimbus experience’ remains with you for many years after you may have moved on through this amazing journey called life.

So if you are looking for somewhere to unwind with a coffee or drink, or want some visual stimulation, try it, the atmosphere is exceptional. You will find far more than I have space to describe, and artworks to please most. The enthusiastic curator is Chike Nwagbogu and he will be happy to help with your inquiries or visit.
