By artist, for artist
We bring the
gallery home.
BAFA turns extraordinary private homes into galleries. Group shows curated by the artists themselves, in the most beautiful rooms in the world.
Group show no. 01, Kigali. Opening soon.
The concept
The house is the gallery.
For too long, art has lived behind the same white walls. BAFA moves it somewhere alive. We stage group exhibitions inside extraordinary private homes, the kind with rooms worth standing in. The architecture becomes part of the work. The corridors, the light, the scale, all of it.
By artist, for artist
Artists curate, hang, and host one another. No committees. No gatekeepers. The people who make the work decide how it is seen.
Group shows
Many voices under one roof, in conversation across every room. A single night becomes a whole world to walk through.
Intimate by design
Limited audiences and real encounters, with the work and with the people who made it. Presence over crowds.
Manifesto
We believe great art deserves great walls. We believe the people who make the work should decide how it is seen.
No white cube. No gatekeepers. No waiting for permission. Just artists, showing artists, in the most beautiful rooms in the world. This is BAFA.
For artists
Show with us.
We are gathering the artists who will define BAFA's first shows. Painters, sculptors, photographers, digital artists, and everyone in between. If you make work that deserves a remarkable room, we want to see it.
For hosts
Open your house.
Own a home with walls worth filling? BAFA turns beautiful private spaces into galleries for a season. We handle the curation, the installation, the insurance, and the evening itself. You share a space the city will remember.
