The Space Botswana Art Gallery and Creative Hub
Maun, Botswana | Founded by Atang L.S Arnold

The Space Botswana is a pioneering contemporary art gallery and multidisciplinary creative hub located in Maun, Botswana—the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Founded by cultural entrepreneur and curator Atang L.S Arnold, The Space Botswana is dedicated to empowering emerging and underrepresented artists, particularly women and youth, across Southern Africa.

With a mission to creative spaces and foster inclusive narratives, the gallery provides a platform for exhibitions, residencies, workshops, and public programs that explore the intersections of art, environment, indigenous knowledge, and social change. It serves as a bridge between local talent and global audiences, enabling cross-cultural collaboration and dialogue.

The Space Botswana is more than an art gallery—it is a community anchor, incubating sustainable art practices, hosting environmental art initiatives, and advancing cultural leadership through mentorship and economic empowerment. The hub has collaborated with organizations such as Elephant Havens, the Ngamiland Creative Network, and the We Are Family Foundation, and has featured in international art fairs and media platforms.

From clay to canvas, recycled materials to digital storytelling, The Space Botswana is shaping the future of Botswana’s creative economy by fostering artists who tell urgent stories of identity, climate, healing, and hope.
