Shopping for arts might look like is far fetched and only reserved for the super-rich. Let me blow your mind a bit, there is a lot of beautiful cheap art in the market for those looking to buy one just get ready to bargain. And guess the best place to buy art in Nigeria? Lagos is your best bet.
The Lekki art market, located on Oba Elegushi Street, Off Lekki-Epe expressway (between 4th and 5th roundabout), should be your first stop. A gem for Nigerian art and yeah the price of art is way cheaper than you can imagine. Looking for some more sophisticated art expression – The Nike art gallery and TerraKulture should be your next stop. Onikan under the bridge, Freedom Park and the Fela Shrine should definitely be on your list too.

Get familiar with these parlances when you get into the clothing market sections of the popular Idumota/Balogun market or Yaba market. Prices are outrageously cheap if you are ready to go all out at sellers and bargain like a typical Lagosian slashing the price of every item stated to you by half.
