  • Paulo Akiiki´s Experiences with BAZART are an interesting CASE STUDY . Recently, on 13 June 2004, this case study has been presented during the UN Conference on Trade and Development (held in Sao Paulo). Organizations like BAZART could be very effective for African artists since their way of working bridges the enormous distance between african artists and the international art markets.
  • Paulo Akiiki is taking part in the Spanish-French Travelling Art Show called BAZART which exhibits in 6 major European cities each year.

  • Last year Paulo was the 3rd best-selling artist of the 35 participating Artists in BAZART. He sold 160 works via this Travelling Art Show!
