For over 50 years, the African Cultural Art Forum has been the heartbeat of Philadelphia’s Black arts community. Now, join us for an exclusive collector’s call and auction

Since its founding in 1969, ACAF has been a driving force in promoting African and diasporic arts and culture. Over the years, it has hosted iconic events such as the renowned Odunde Festival, bringing together communities to celebrate African heritage, creativity, and unity.
Through its programs and exhibitions, ACAF continues to support and uplift artists of African descent, providing a vital platform for their voices, traditions, and contemporary expressions to flourish.
This is a private, invite-only virtual salon designed to offer an intimate and exclusive experience for art enthusiasts and collectors. The event will culminate in a curated auction featuring a selection of rare and distinguished African art pieces, showcasing the depth, diversity, and mastery of artists from across the continent and the diaspora. It provides a unique opportunity for guests to engage with exceptional works and support the thriving landscape of African art in an elegant and refined setting.
“I’ve been coming here since I was a baby Garveyite, my elders have been holding it down forever. ACAF got everything you need — products straight from the mother continent. Show your Black love — there is no Black power without the Black dollar.”
Dr. Umar Ifatunde

Mark your calendars for November 1. An exclusive, invite-only event celebrating the brilliance of African art and culture.
