African Trading Port

At African Trading Port (ATP) we have attempted to bring Africa under one roof. Artwork from practically each African country and culture is available. ATP’s roots started with the establishment of an art workshop in Zimbabwe in 1978. We have been housed in our current location; the Old Port Captain’s Building at Cape Town’s Waterfront since 2001.

The considerable amount of time that has been devoted to sourcing African art has allowed us to establish close relationships with successive generations of Africa’s leading artists. We stock an immense array of objects d’art including sculpture, artifacts, ceramics, pottery, bronzeware and glassware. Although our collection focuses on the work of recognised artists, we also devote display space to some of the younger, emerging artists from the African continent.”
