Join us for painting, wine, and easy conversation, morning, afternoon, or evening, a proper part of your Lagos itinerary, not just a class.
Alali pairs a working art gallery with a guided painting session, so you're creating in the same space where original Nigerian art hangs for sale. No experience needed, an instructor guides you from a blank canvas to a finished piece, with bottomless wine, good music, and a shared table of fellow travellers and locals. A genuinely social class in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos
Even if you haven't picked up a brush since primary school, the space is designed to help you tap into your "vision." You'll be provided with art supplies and an art instructor. The focus is on the joy of the process, and leaving with a piece of art that serves as a souvenir of your time in Lagos. Music is the heartbeat of Alali. As you paint, expect a mix of curated tracks that set a "cosy" and exclusive tone. When the energy picks up, karaoke lets guests loosen up. It's an intimate setting, so it feels more like a private class with friends than a public performance. To keep things social, "light games" are woven into the session, icebreakers that encourage conversation without tipping into overstimulating. It's a great way to meet local creatives and fellow travellers in a space built around sophisticated fun.
Look for the huge almond tree and grey low walls at 32 Musa Yar’Adua. Drive through the white gate into the parking lot, then follow the floral garden path to the Alali main space. Spot the black logo with white lettering; you’ve arrived at Alali.
