Lagos OCCE Climate Finance Gala Night

About the Exhibition

As part of the 2026 Climate Finance Preparedness Clinic, selected works from the CraftVantage Graduate Programme were presented at the Lagos OCCE Climate Finance Gala Night.

The exhibition brought contemporary Nigerian art into an important gathering of policymakers, investors, financial institutions, development partners and sustainability leaders exploring how local capital can unlock Nigeria’s climate economy.

Building on the theme of CraftVantage’s 2026 Graduate Exhibition, Bold Stories, Sustainable Futures, the showcase featured works that engage ideas around sustainability, environmental responsibility, material reuse, community, identity and resilience.

Through this collaboration, CraftVantage created a meeting point between artistic expression and the conversations influencing climate action and sustainable development. The exhibition also provided emerging Nigerian artists with continued access to new audiences, potential patrons, commissions and professional opportunities.
