Galerie Cécile Fakhoury, founded in Abidjan in 2012, showcases contemporary African art through exhibitions featuring established and emerging artists such as Aboudia, François-Xavier Gbré, and Ouattara Watts. With additional spaces in Dakar (2018) and Paris (2021), the gallery promotes African artists internationally while engaging local audiences. Founder Cécile Fakhoury, who previously worked in the art world, emphasizes the importance of African collectors in shaping the continent's art market. The gallery has participated in major fairs like Art Dubai and FIAC, where it was the sole Sub-Saharan representative in 2019. Its programming often reflects social themes, such as Aboudia's exploration of post-electoral conflicts in Côte d'Ivoire.

Beautiful modern space with peacocks in the adjoining yard. Would have appreciated an explanatory pamphlet on the artist(s) whole works were featured.

Beautiful grounds and gallery space. There are two rooms/buildings set in a lovely well maintained compound. Peaceful which is great for reflecting on the exhibition. The curation of the exhibition at the time of visiting was perfectly presented and such thought provoking pieces. A must visit for sure!

Amazing place for culture and history. Very well connected place if you want to find inspirations when you don't have. I love the pictures and the calming rooms. People working there are kind and polite. I really appreciated the moment.

Quaint and interesting. If you're in II Plateaux area and are looking for something enjoyable and quick to do, then head to the Galerie Cecile Fakhoury to indulge in some local art. You'll rarely find the same artist's work displayed twice. They're always changing the artwork on display, which is exciting. Each local artist has a unique and wonderful style to be discovered. The gallery is quite small and only has two display rooms, but it's still worth the visit. There's also an extension behind the gallery, where you can observe some beautiful birds such as peacocks, parrots and chicken. There's even a tortoise.
