Speaking on the exhibition which commenced last week Friday, and will run till the end of the month, Managing Director and Regional Executive, Ecobank Nigeria, Bolaji Lawal, said: “the creative industry is an essential driver of economic growth, well-being, and global connectivity. We will continue to invest in the potentials of our young people for a brighter future for Nigeria as a country.

“Specifically, we have invited emerging and ‘un-galleried’ Nigerian Artists to participate in this international art exhibition, as they stand to gain wide reaching exposure that would enhance their works.

“Un-galleried artists” typically refer to artists who don’t have representation or exhibition opportunities through traditional art galleries. 

These artists usually face challenges in gaining exposure and selling their creative work.
