Since 2022, it has also supported its artists to participate in the Guest Artists Space Foundation (G.A.S.) residency programme, founded by artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA. Tiwani contributes to the arts ecosystem in Lagos through its programme of exhibitions, talks and publications, the latter produced with the support of the A.G.

Works by Tiwani’s roster of artists can be found in the collections of Tate Gallery, London, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, The Government Art Collection, UK, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Musée du quai Branly, Paris, and MoMA New York, as well as many other globally renowned institutions.
