About
Nairobi’s first Sculpture Garden opens on Saturday, 31 August

This month One Off celebrates its 25th anniversary with a review of sculpture in the region. Curated by Marc Van Rampelberg, the show will comprise works by over 45 artists.

Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up Space will host part of the exhibit with the balance being shown in both interior spaces at 16 Rosslyn Lone Tree and also in the new Sculpture Garden.

The new Sculpture Garden remains very much a work in progress with so much still to do in terms of planting and organisation. We hope you will see the potential which will be enhanced when we finally receive some rain.

Come and browse – refreshments will be served
