Our Story

Splash of Africa based in Jar Norway exists to aid in the development and social economic welfare of young African Artists. We provide them with the international platform that is needed to display their art and talents in order to sell and promote their work. Splash of Africa is not simply about selling Arts its about aiding young artists in Africa sell and promote their art in order to create an economic sustainability for them to be able to provide for their families and educate their children.
Our organisation believes in equal opportunities that can lead to self development and the preparation of Africa’s next generation for a better future through economic sustainment.
It all started when I worked in Liberia in the humanitarian sector and came across local struggling artists trying to sell their art on the streets to support their families. At first I was blown away by the colours and designs of the various art pieces and confused on what to buy as I was returning shortly to Europe and wanted to buy one or two paintings to take as gifts for friends in Norway. When I got to know them better I found out the challenge they faced in selling their paintings and getting fair price for them. What they sold them for locally ( that is if they were lucky to sell 1 or 2 a week) was barely enough to sustain them. I felt I had to help them by trying to give them the international platform needed to expose their talents, as it was a shame to see such beautiful paintings sit on the side of the streets without reaching an appreciative audience.
That got me to thinking that if Liberian Artists faced these challenges, so must other African Artists and I had to do something to help them. That’s how and why Splash of Africa was created.
By purchasing one or more of our beautiful colourful art that Is mainly made from local organic materials you not only bring a splash of Africa into your homes and offices but you help support and promote Local African Artists.
