Managing Director/Regional Executive, Ecobank Nigeria, Bolaji Lawal, said: “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 works. 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”.
