NFormal - African Artwork Marketplace for Artists & Collectors

The Challenge Facing African Artists

Many talented artists struggle to reach buyers beyond their local community. Selling artwork can be time-consuming and unpredictable, while logistics and safe delivery create additional barriers.

Vendors and service providers along the pipeline — from packagers to couriers — also face irregular work and limited opportunities, making it hard to sustain livelihoods.

Our Solution: NFormal

NFormal is a platform designed to connect artists with a global audience, streamline sales, and ensure secure delivery. Along the way, it creates jobs and income opportunities across the entire service chain — from preparation to shipping.
