A compound of artists to work on and display their art works.

Hidden gem of Dakar 😍 Village of Arts is a small community built by Senegalese artists in Dakar. 👩🏿‍🎨🏘👨🏿‍🎨 I just decided to explore this secluded area and couldn't believe my eyes. 🎨 Every artists has his/her own small studio and some of them live there. I was welcome very warmly and was offered coffee many times. These artists are actually geniuses and their works are priceless.🗿 Especially the works of @lassana.gassama blew my mind! 👨🏿‍🎨🖼 I had unforgettable time chatting and exchanging words with these hospitable artists. This hidden gem is in a remote place in Dakar and I luckily came across this unique place on Google Maps.

Get a guide. Schedule your visit. Visit resident artists in their studios. Where even the outside common space is reflecting the artist's creativity. FYI - these are world class artists! Also, see Village Des Arts Gallery. Also in the village.

(Translated by Google) The village of the arts is a haven of peace, very shaded, ideal for artistic creation, exchanges between visual artists and the public, all crowned by a warm welcome.

(Translated by Google) Typical place where real artists work in their tiny workshop. There is something for every taste. Visit with a friend, who came for the biénale, we enjoyed the OFF exhibition in the Shengor gallery. We left with canvases bought from 3 different artists. To visit if you do not know! (Original) Lieu typique ou de vrais artistes travaillent dans leur tout petit atelier. Il y en a pour tous les goûts.

A visiter si vous ne connaissez pas !

(Translated by Google) Very friendly space with many artists' studios with different universes from each other. It includes ceramics, wood carving, painting, installation, metal sculpture and so on. The artists are really cool, open to discussion, and if like me you spend the good time you will be entitled to good music, drinking some beer around a quiet discussion (Original) Espace très convivial avec de nombreux ateliers d'artistes aux univers différents les uns des autres. On y retrouve de la céramique, sculpture sur bois, peinture, installation, sculpture sur métaux et j'en passe. Les artistes sont vraiment cool, ouvert à la discussion, et si comme moi vous passez à la bonne heure vous aurez droit à de la bonne musique, en buvant quelques bière autour d'un discussion tranquille

Beautiful experience, viewing artist work, the is positive and the hospitality was amazing, greatest opportunity on the Dakar tour.

When you enter, go directly to the beautiful woman, mistress of the lieu, Nafy. And let yourself be guided by her insight. And visit the artists' galleries. That is always surprising and delightful.

There are more artist workshops than galleries.

Found a great piece of art here.

Interesting concept, featuring many small local ateliers that you can visit. Rather small and not very well treated.

Lovely place full of artists who vend their own made art. Totally not pushy and 200% tourist friendly. Must visit for everyone who wants souvenirs from real artists!!! Support those people! 🙏☀️

Not much going on....more like squater camp....waste of time .. The paint on glass is nice.

Watching some of the artists do their work was fantastic 😍. So glad we were able to tour.

Best hidden jem in Senegal

(Translated by Google) An ideal environment for a beautiful contemplation. I think art rhymes with beauty! But what is beauty my friends from Planet Earth; since with us, that is to say the Planet Mars, the meaning of beauty refers to something else that the inhabitants of the Earth ignore. (Original) Un milieu idéal pour une belle contemplation. Je pense que l'art rime avec la beauté! Mais qu'est-ce que la beauté mes amis de la Planète Terre; puisque chez nous c'est à dire la Planète Mars la signification de la beauté renvoie à autre chose que les habitants de la Terre ignorent.

Little to see. Nothing particularly artistic. Nothing apparently for sale. Waste of the taxi money! Most disappointed! 1600, Wednesday, 17th May 2023.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience and unfortunately not frequented by tourists. There is an art gallery in which a work is exhibited for each artist who owns his workshop alongside. You can breathe a quiet air fully immersed in the artistic work developed in real time. It is Fine Arts, refined works, it is not a craft market. Absolutely recommended to spend 2 hours. (Original) Bellissima esperienza e purtroppo poco frequentata dai turisti. Vi è una galleria d'arte in cui viene esposto un'opera per ogni artista che detiene il proprio laboratorio lì a fianco. Si respira un'aria tranquilla e pienamente immersa nel lavoro artistico sviluppato in tempo reale. Si tratta di Fine Arts, opere raffinate, non è un mercato di artigianato. Assolutamente consigliato spenderci 2 ore.

(Translated by Google) A convivial space of artistic creation. Beautiful works, Painting, ceramics, sculpture. To visit absolutely. (Original) Un espace convivial de création artistique. De belles œuvres, Peinture, céramique, sculpture. A visiter absolument.

(Translated by Google) I would have loved to visit, but no cab driver knew where! I was finally landed at the Dakar Regional Cultural Center Blaise Senghor, where no one else knew the village either. Maybe there is no advertising around this place (Original) J'aurais beaucoup aimé visiter, mais aucun chauffeur de taxi ne savait c'était où!
