empowering african artists
“I believe continuity in Visual Arts scene is important”, Says Linda. Recognizing the lack of mentorship for young, emerging African artists and the limitations to gain entry into most traditional commercial galleries, Linda Margreat established SenaArt Gallery as the gallery for emerging artists. To amplify their voices. SenaArt Gallery serves as a dynamic platform where emerging African artists can find representation, mentorship and the necessary support to thrive in the competitive art industry. The gallery is committed to transforming passion and talent into value, thereby creating value for the artist and their communities through art.
mission
