| An association of African artists, musicians, writers, and actors, the Mbari Mbayo Club began in Nigeria in 1961. Centered in the towns of Ibadan and Oshogbo, the club operates galleries and theaters and publishes African literature. The Mbari Mbayo Club provides its artists opportunities for recognition, creating local and international markets for their works. This painting by a Mbari Mbayo artist is one example of the varied art produced in Africa. |
