UPCOMING EXHIBITION

Open Call for Curators: Curatorial Proposals

CasildART invites curators to submit proposals for an exhibition titled “Dwelling Place”. This show will explore this theme through the work of two artists of African and/or Caribbean heritage.

We are seeking imaginative and innovative interpretations – whether expressed through aesthetics, form, identity, or culture. Proposals should thoughtfully explore the complexities, tensions, and harmonies that arise from various perspectives: tradition vs. modernity, heritage vs. innovation, individual vs. collective, and more.

This is a chance to present a powerful dialogue between two artists whose practices reflect layered, interwoven identities and perspectives.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION

In His Own Image - Black men reclaim their image, voice, and power.

18 October – 8 November 2025  

CasildART is proud to present In His Own Image, an exhibition reclaiming conversations about masculinity from the dominance of white, Eurocentric perspectives.

Featuring twelve contemporary Black male artists, the show unapologetically centres the Black male gaze, offering visions of masculinity that are intimate, political, vulnerable, and transformative. From portraits painted on reclaimed urban objects to layered print-paint hybrids, surreal figuration, and narrative canvases, the works challenge reductive stereotypes and expand how Black men see themselves, how they are seen—and how they see the world.

Curated by Sukai Eccleston, In His Own Image highlights the influence of family, community, love, and responsibility in shaping Black male identity, creating a vital space for narratives too often sidelined in mainstream culture.

Featured artists: Kofi Amoateng, Natnael Ashebir, Gabriel Choto, Stephen Anthony Davids, Christian Hiadzi, Kay Gasei, Richard Mensah, Matt Small, Eme Omeh, Sol Golden Sata, Nigaut Tsehay, and Qozeem.

ONGOING EVENTS

Meet, Greet, Buy

“Meet, Greet, Buy”. takes place on the last Sunday of each month in our gallery. This event will give one artist the opportunity to showcase two or three of their artworks (alongside other pieces in the gallery). The gallery space is free to use, and we’ll take a small 15% commission on any artworks or merchandise sold during the event.

Here’s how it works.

  • You’ll get the gallery space from 11 am to 4 pm to present your work 
  • Feel free to make it your own – bring champagne, cupcakes, snacks, or anything that helps create a great atmosphere for your guests.
  • Invite your friends, family, fellow artists, and collectors to network and enjoy the event.
  • Bring additional merchandise like prints or greeting cards to sell.

This is a fantastic way to connect with other artists, build community, and gain exposure for your work in a gallery setting.
