About Gems of Africa Gallery

We would like to introduce you to Gems of Africa Gallery; a family business owned and operated by Keith Washington and Wallene Jones since 1981. Originally located in New York, we have been in business in Atlanta since 1997.

The staff at the Gems of Africa Gallery is dedicated to presenting you the best of African Art. To ensure the quality of our merchandise and to keep abreast of new artists and artifacts available, we travel to Africa twice a year and hand pick all of the items for the gallery. Many of the artists that we deal with are not interested in the marketing aspect of the business, so we provide the marketing expertise for them.

We feature original paintings, sculptures, masks, pottery, wood carvings and many other items which are all hand crafted in Africa. Although we carry art from many countries in Africa, we specialize in original art and sculpture from South Africa and Zimbabwe which is why we are able to give you the best and largest selection anywhere in Atlanta.

Upon entry to the gallery, you are taken on a visual journey to countries in Africa such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, Congo, Benin and the Ivory Coast, just to name a few. Every piece of artwork is intricately detailed portraying the emotions of the artist's subject matter.

Remember, you don't have to travel to Africa for fine African Art; Just come to Gems of Africa for all of your African art needs.
