A private studio buyout with an artist-led session and Chef’s Table dining
The Executive Experience is Alali’s most exclusive offering, built for boards, C-suite offsites and client entertaining rather than a standard night out. The whole studio closes to your group alone.
The session is led by one of Alali Gallery’s own represented artists, not a standard instructor, with a short introduction to their practice before the painting begins. Guests choose between the evening’s core activity or a bespoke commissioned piece, completed by the artist and delivered afterward, a work that reflects the company, a personal milestone, or a gift for someone specific. A private guided walkthrough of the current gallery collection runs alongside, with the option to purchase a piece on the spot.
Dining runs as a Chef’s Table menu, a set, stylised spread with menu options to choose from, seated and served rather than buffet-style. The bar runs fully open throughout, spirits and cocktails included, not limited to wine. A dedicated event coordinator manages the whole booking from first enquiry through to the evening itself, and professional photography documents the session, useful for both a personal record and anything the company wants to share afterward. Every guest leaves with more than a painting, a bottle from the evening or a small piece from the gallery goes home with them too.
The Executive Experience is held at Alali Gallery, our own studio in Victoria Island, surrounded by original Nigerian art.
