The Nairobi National Museum will host the 20th Affordable Art Show from May 22nd to May 24th, 2026.
Organized by the Kenya Museum Society (KMS), the event is designed to bridge the gap between talented creators and art enthusiasts. By showcasing a massive variety of works from both emerging and established artists, the show continues its mission to make original art accessible and affordable to the general public.
Whether you are a seasoned collector looking for the next big name or a first-time buyer wanting to brighten up your home, the show offers something for everyone. Attendees can browse through hundreds of original paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media pieces.
Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the Affordable Art Show serves a greater purpose. Proceeds from the event support the Kenya Museum Society’s vital work in preserving Kenya’s national heritage and funding museum projects across the country.
