Private gallery viewing with the curator, curated drinks, and an optional activity add-on.
Corporate Gallery Evenings at Alali (located at 32 Musa Yar’Adua Street, Victoria Island) are designed to redefine team bonding by merging high-end corporate hospitality with the tangible, appreciating value of contemporary African art.
Rather than a standard, formulaic company outing, these curated evenings immerse teams directly inside a working art gallery and creative studio where original, museum-quality works line the screeded white walls—and are genuinely for acquisition.
The Investment Perspective: Building Value Through Art
At its core, a Corporate Gallery Evening introduces teams to a sophisticated asset class. Fine art is not merely decorative; it is a proven store of value that appreciates over time, outperforming traditional asset classes and adding tangible corporate equity to a company’s portfolio or executive workspace.
-
Cultivating Cultural and Financial Literacy: During these evenings, teams engage with professional curators, learning how to evaluate contemporary African art movements, recognize emerging talent, and understand the nuances of art as a long-term financial investment.
-
Elevating Corporate Portfolios: Organizations can leverage these private gallery buyouts to start or expand an institutional art collection, anchoring corporate assets in culturally rich, high-growth pieces.
-
Executive Networking and Client Hosting: For businesses looking to impress key stakeholders, hosting an evening where art functions as both an immersive environment and an appreciating asset projects forward-thinking leadership, prestige, and a commitment to cultural enterprise.
Immersive Team Experiences
Alongside the gallery experience, teams can participate in premium, hands-on creative workshops led by professional instructors:
-
The Matisse Package (Canvas Painting & Socials): Guided acrylic painting sessions on individual easels where every guest produces a frame-ready piece, complemented by bottomless wine, interactive games, and karaoke.
-
The McCurdy Package (Pottery & Collaboration): Tactile, grounding hand-building pottery sessions utilizing pinch, coil, and slab techniques, fostering collaboration and creative problem-solving outside the boardroom.
-
Bespoke Mediums: Access to over 30 alternative creative mediums—ranging from custom candle making and scent blending to hand casting and mosaic design.
