This September, Lagos is alive with art shows across its galleries, each offering unique perspectives, mediums and voices. From group exhibitions to solo shows, there’s a lot for art lovers to explore. Here are some of the highlights:
Dates: Until 13th October 2025 What is it: A six-artist group show at Windsor Gallery Lagos (4c Goriola Street) that brings fresh voices in conversation. Why go: Windsor Gallery is a slick, contemporary space where new work sits alongside more considered gallery programming — ideal for collectors and curious visitors alike.
Dates: Until 26 September 2025 What it is: A group show featuring a lineup of Nigerian artists, including Addie Mak, Adeniyi Adewale, Aghogho Otega, Amarachi Nnali, Nola Ayoola, Lawal Oyewole, Richardson Ovbiebo, Femi Okediji, Fidelis Eze Odogwu, Babatunde-Tribe Akande, George Matthew, and Chukwuemeka A. Chukwu. Why go: It promises a breadth of styles and expressions — this is an excellent way to see emerging and established artists in the same space and consider the different ways they respond to themes like myth, transformation, and identity.
Dates: Until 22 September 2025 What it is: A group exhibition dealing with remembering, memory, and legacy. Why go: For those interested in how artists draw from history and personal narratives, it’s likely to include emotionally charged and reflective works.
Dates: Until 27 September 2025 What it is: A solo exhibition by Omolola Coker Why go: Solo shows give room to go deep with a single vision; this one may offer a more intimate, lyrical or thematic exploration.
Dates: Until 28 September 2025 What it is: Group exhibition curated by Tony Agbapuonwu featuring several artists (Emmah Mbanefo, Obi Okigbo, JC Bright, Mobolaji Otuyelu, Chiagoziem Orji, Chinwo Uwatse). Why go: The title suggests exploration of light, perhaps new perspectives — could be uplifting, visually rich.
Dates: Until 28 September 2025 What it is: Featuring Dennis Onuofa and Nosawema Ayela-Uwangue Why go: If you’re drawn to dynamics of motion, change, tension — “ebb and flow” metaphors often yield compelling work.
7. Mirror: A Visual Dialogue Of The Nigerian Society — Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art
Dates: Until 30th September 2025 What it is: Curated by Charles Udeh. Exhibition engages with reflections on Nigerian society. Why go: For critical, perhaps provocative work. Museums often allow for a more scalable, better curated experience.
Dates: Until 18 October 2025 What it is: A two-artist show (a “duo”) Why go: Shows like this often juxtapose styles/themes; “roots & branches” implies explorations of origin, growth, and connection.
Dates: Until 30 September 2025 What it is: Likely figurative works — perhaps paintings/sculpture that reference the human form or everyday life Why go: Figurative art often feels accessible and emotionally resonant; good for those who prefer something more representational.
Dates: Until 26th September 2025 What it is: A group exhibition of 10 Nigerian visual artists. Entry is free. Why go: Free to attend, a chance to see new voices; “Undiscovered” suggests emerging artists, fresh ideas.
Dates: Until 21 September 2025 What it is: A large-scale exhibition bringing together works from legendary Nigerian artists (living and deceased) drawn from private collections. Media include painting, sculpture, possibly mixed media — spanning decades. Why go: To see art history in the flesh — enduring works by masters who shaped Nigerian visual culture. Also an excellent chance to appreciate craftsmanship, provenance, and legacy, especially for those interested in art heritage and major-scale works.
Dates: Until 30 September 2025 What it is: A curated show exploring societal themes in Nigeria — identity, culture, perhaps politics, reflection, contrast; likely to include a mix of painting, photography and sculpture. Why go: Because it’s socially engaging and reflective — a chance to see how artists are responding to current issues, cultural identities, the changing face of Nigeria; thought-provoking work that prompts dialogue.
Dates: Until 4 October 2025 What it is: A group exhibition combining art + design. Likely to feature works with nostalgia, memory, possibly fashion/object design along with traditional fine art. Why go: If you enjoy intersections of art and design, and work that evokes memory or reflection. Also a chance to see how artists and designers collaborate around shared themes of past and presence.
14. Wind Chimes, Gongs And Bells: For Whom Is This Call? — CCA Lagos
Dates: Throughout September 2025 What it is: A group exhibition likely exploring sound, resonance, identity, call/response — metaphorical or literal — possibly incorporating installation, sound art, maybe visual works evocative of percussive or auditory themes. Why go: It’s unusual and poetic, appealing if you want something immersive or conceptual. Works that play on senses, atmosphere, and metaphor often leave a strong impression.
