The PAFF ArtFEST Returns to Baldwin Hills Crenshaw August 21–24, 2025

The Pan African Film & Arts Festival is proud to announce the return of our beloved Artfest to its home at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw. From August 21–24, 2025, we’re bringing the marketplace back to the heart of South Los Angeles—where culture, community, and creativity converge.

For over three decades, PAFF has created space for Black and Pan-African artists to showcase their work to thousands of art lovers, collectors, and supporters. This year, we’re reclaiming that legacy and returning to the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, a historic location that has long served as a cultural hub for our community.

The 2025 Artfest will feature over 100 artists from across the African diaspora, offering everything from fine art, sculpture, handmade jewelry, wearable fashion, and ceramics to African textiles, home decor, collectibles, and more. It’s a curated experience that centers Black artists, honors our heritage, and uplifts our stories—whether they’re told through brushstrokes, beadwork, or bold design.

More than just a marketplace, the Artfest is a gathering. A celebration of our history, our resilience, and our imagination. It’s where people come not only to buy art, but to connect with the creators behind it. It’s where culture lives, breathes, and grows.

And best of all—it’s free and open to the public.

Mark your calendars. Spread the word. The PAFF Artfest is coming home.
