2026 Exhibition Program

Lines, Patterns & Colour: Grounded in Heritage, Designed for Tomorrow

In the first quarter of 2026, we present our inaugural 3-day CraftVantage Graduate Exhibition, bringing together 10 outstanding artists from Yabatech and UNILAG, Class of 2025. Our debut showcase is anchored in the theme Lines, Patterns & Colour: Grounded in Heritage, Designed for Tomorrow, reflecting how young artists reinterpret cultural memory while shaping bold creative futures.

We have commissioned each artist to produce three original works using diverse, sustainability-conscious materials, reflecting innovation, identity, and the evolving language of contemporary African art.

Opening Day (Official Launch)

A vibrant celebration of art, culture, and emerging talent.

On the opening evening, we will unveil the 2026 Graduate Exhibition, the first public viewing of powerful new works created by Nigeria's next generation of artists. Guests can expect curated cocktails, impactful artist introductions, live music that sets the tone for the evening, a buzzing PR & Media Alley, and a dynamic pop-up marketplace showcasing contemporary African craft and design.
