African Art Collections - Antwerp Gallery

As Chairman of INGRED vzw, being a former appointed honorary Diplomat in West Africa - I started up a hobby collecting African Art, more than 10 years ago. With the support of my team, we've started to study African Art, and how it has evolved over the centuries, ... including its expression, meaning, and cultural background, and use this for educational projects, on a global scale.

We've managed with a team of experts to start initially our own art collection, but secondly also attracted other art lovers to share their valuable African Art pieces, and who were willing to offer their valuable pieces for sale and contribute to our social goals. As we've started this initiative as a non-profit organization, all profits are going to the INGRED vzw, which supports through its partners, for example, KIVA.org, humanitarian projects, where we have supported over recent period more than 170 projects, in more than 20 countries across Africa, the majority being projects in education, being our primary target. If you want to know more, do not hesitate to contact us.

Most of the art pieces are given in consignment and we receive a commission on the targeted sales price. From the profits, we support partner organizations, such as KIVA to provide micro-lending projects, mostly on the African Continent. Our organization “ INGRED” is registered as a nonprofit organization, with the number BE0731.561.528.
