## Gallery History

[edit]

Johfrim began as a private art collection in 2013 and was formed by Chief Josephine Oboh Macleod, the first black female in Scotland[5][6][7] to possess contemporary African art and a cultural center.

Johfrim is home to several African and foreign artworks,[8] and the gallery houses Nigeria's third largest African art collection, with 6,000 artworks excluding sculptures, paintings, and other media. It is located behind Oyasaf and Nike Art Gallery, which each include 7,000 and 8,000 artworks. Johfrim arranges cross-cultural events and represents the work of about 50 artists, including Lamidi Olonade Fakeye, from Africa. Johfrim is a charity affiliated with the JOM.[9][10][11][1][12]
