MASTERCLASSES

&

WORKSHOPS

For the +234 art fair, we present a robust series of masterclasses and workshops geared towards emerging artists and other players in the arts ecosystem. Our starting point was the consideration of the different elements that are needed for a successful artists’ career and we then developed a programme that would provide information and insight into these important facets.

For many artists, the sale of artwork is an important marker of success. However, there are other aspects that are important for the development of an artistic career and that can also lead to financial success. These include space to experiment with their practice through residences, and participating in museum shows and biennials which can build their reputation as an artist. We explore these topics and also look at the role galleries can play in artist development beyond providing a platform for sales.

As African art continues to make strides in the global art market, we discuss what this means for emerging Nigerian artists and what pathways they can take to build an international career. We also shine a spotlight on photography and sculpture as two important fields that sometimes face challenges finding their place within the Nigerian art world.

In addition to sessions directly related to artistic practice, the workshops also engage with the theme of the fair ‘ A New Heritage’, which seeks to connect Nigerian art through the centuries to where we are today, building on the work of pioneers who have shaped Nigerian art and celebrating emerging Nigerian artists who continue to create for the enrichment of our society.

We invite you to join us in this dynamic space, where we will explore these ideas with the art community. We look forward to lively debates, insightful questions, new ideas, and perhaps even some answers as we work towards creating an arts sector where all artists can thrive.
