How Tix Supported Art X Lagos 2026
Art has a way of telling stories that words sometimes cannot. It preserves history, challenges perspectives, introduces new ideas and gives people a reason to see the world differently.
Since November 2016, ART X Lagos has created a space for these stories to be told, bringing together artists, galleries, collectors and audiences to engage with contemporary African art.
Its 2026 edition was another reminder of why platforms like this matter.
Held from November 5th to 8th, the fair brought together different expressions of African creativity, from contemporary artworks and cultural exhibitions to film, music and conversations exploring the continent's artistic heritage and future.
One of the highlights was the tribute to Nigerian ceramicist Ladi Kwali, whose contribution to African art continues to inspire generations. There was also Mothers of Chibok, a cinematic presentation that revisited the experiences of mothers affected by the 2014 Chibok abductions.
It was the kind of programming that invited attendees to do more than look. It encouraged them to engage, reflect and connect with stories that deserve to be remembered.
For us, being part of this year's ART X Lagos was an opportunity to support a platform doing important work for Africa's creative industry.
Supporting the experiences that move culture forward
Behind every major cultural event is a team working to bring together the people, logistics and technology required to make it happen.
For ART X Lagos 2026, we powered the fair's ticketing, helping attendees access the fair through our platform.
It's a responsibility we take seriously. When thousands of people are looking forward to an experience, the journey from purchasing a ticket to getting through the doors should be as straightforward as possible.
We see our role as part of a much bigger picture: giving organisers the tools and support they need to focus on creating experiences their audiences will remember.
And ART X Lagos is exactly the kind of experience we want to keep supporting.
Our work goes beyond one industry
One of the things we love about the events industry is how much it brings together.
A fashion enthusiast might spend one weekend at Lagos Fashion Week, an art lover might discover a new artist at ART X Lagos, and someone else might spend their Friday night at a music festival or an intimate dinner.
Different interests, different communities, but one thing in common: people want to experience things worth leaving the house for.
At Tix, we're building for all of it.
Our platform helps organisers create events, sell tickets, manage attendees and reach people looking for their next experience. Whether you're bringing together 50 people for an intimate gathering or thousands for a major cultural event, we want to make the process easier.
From online ticket sales and custom event pages to sales reporting and event discovery, we're constantly building tools that support organisers at different stages of their journey.
More stories, communities and experiences
Our involvement with ART X Lagos and Lagos Fashion Week reflects the range of experiences we're proud to support.
We believe Africa's creative industries deserve technology that grows alongside them. As more organisers build ambitious events and more audiences seek out new experiences, the infrastructure supporting the industry needs to evolve too.
That's what we're working towards at Tix: powering the experiences that bring people together, create opportunities and shape how Africa experiences culture.
Planning an event of your own? We'd love to be part of it.
