GravitArt is an online art gallery that’s been hosting a wide array of East African artists based in Nairobi since early this year. It was officially launched with a Pop-Up Exhibition at the Safron Spa in Westlands last April.

Both the exhibition and the website feature mainly Kenyan artists like Peter Elungat, Dennis Muraguri, Shabu Mwangi, Michael Soi and many others. But one will also find works by a broad assortment of East African artists, such as Fitsum Berhe from Ethiopia, El Tayeb Dawelbait and Saleh Elmur from Sudan. Artworks from Congo, Benin and Nigeria are also on the website.
