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

Logistics
We advise you to pass through the Rosslyn Riviera Mall Space on your way to the main gallery – Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up will be open from noon until 5pm. You may either park at Rosslyn Mall and catch one of our courtesy Tuk Tuks to the main gallery, or drive over to the main gallery and park in our new car park at the bottom of the property.

Note that the Rosslyn Riviera Pop-up Space will close at 5pm. Meanwhile at the main space the celebrations will continue up to 7.30pm. There will be a short laser light show in the new Garden at 7pm. Adam Chienjo, highly acclaimed Mime artist and dancer, will perform a number of times during the day at the main gallery space.
