At the heart of this monumental project is Constance and Sons Art Gallery, a platform distinguished by its bold vision and commitment to pushing the boundaries of exhibition-making.
With The Coalition, the gallery delivers an exhibition of remarkable scale, one that challenges traditional limitations and sets a new benchmark for what a privately driven art initiative can achieve.
More than just its size, The Coalition is a celebration of collective creativity and artistic diversity. The exhibition unites individual artistic voices into a cohesive and compelling narrative, showcasing a wide range of styles, mediums, and perspectives.
The choice of venue further elevates the exhibition’s stature. The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), globally recognised for its leadership in research and innovation, provides a serene and expansive environment that complements the exhibition’s ambition.
This unique setting allows visitors to engage with the works in a space that encourages reflection, dialogue, and immersive experience.

The alignment between the gallery, the exhibition, and the venue creates a powerful synergy. Constance and Sons Art Gallery brings the vision and structure, The Coalition delivers unmatched scale and substance, while IITA offers the context and environment that transforms the exhibition into a truly holistic cultural experience.
For collectors, investors, and art enthusiasts, The Coalition presents a rare opportunity to engage with an extensive body of work within a single, thoughtfully curated space. With hundreds of artworks available, the exhibition opens doors for both seasoned collectors and new entrants to discover and acquire meaningful pieces.
Beyond its immediate impact, The Coalition signals a broader shift in the global perception of African art. It demonstrates that African-led initiatives are not only participating in the global art conversation but are also capable of leading it through ambition, scale, and innovation.
As anticipation builds, The Coalition stands as more than an exhibition; it is a bold statement of possibility. It redefines expectations, sets new standards, and affirms Ibadan’s place as an emerging destination for major cultural events.
The Coalition will be open to the public from April 24th to 26th at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan.
