The African Arts Trust is a registered formal public charitable trust based in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 2010 by collector and philanthropist Robert Devereux. Its core mission is to advance the development of a locally self-governed, sustainable contemporary visual arts ecosystem in Africa, and to support the professional growth of emerging early-career visual artists based on the continent.
As a public grantmaking institution, its core work is to provide scholarships and project grants to emerging visual artists and local arts organizations across the African continent. It also runs a physical art gallery that hosts relevant exhibitions, publishes past funded projects and industry news updates on its website, and maintains an open funding application channel where eligible applicants can check guidelines and submit proposals. The website has fairly high transparency: it publicly shares information about its trust management team and official charity registration number, and operates in full compliance.
Its strengths lie in its clear, focused positioning. It addresses the critical pain point of resource scarcity in the African art sector, fills an unmet need in the field, and operates transparently and by the book as a registered charity. Its drawbacks are equally clear: funding is only open to Africa-based practitioners, so its service scope is very limited; the entire site is in English with no Chinese language support, creating a high barrier of entry for users not comfortable with English; and website functionality is fairly basic, with no integrated online application system, which reduces usability.
This website is only suitable for Africa-based emerging visual artists and local arts organizations seeking funding, and for researchers working in the field of contemporary African art looking for publicly available information.
The website is currently directly accessible via the public internet in China, with no proxy tool required.
