Art club showcases works to boost employment, tourism

Art Club, under Marywood Girls’ College, Ebute Metta (West), Lagos, came to the limelight recently, as artists, parents and Non-Governmental Organization reiterated the strategic position occupied by arts as means of encouraging employment and tourism in Nigeria, particularly amongst the nation’s huge youth population.

The group exhibition organized by Marywood Girls’ College, provided a platform for students to showcase different forms of art works and also for the school authorities to appreciate their efforts and motivate many unemployed Nigerians to explore untapped commercial opportunities in arts towards increasing the growing enterprise in Nigeria’s art and culture industry.

Speaking at the exhibition, Rev. Sr. Catherine Olubunmi Ologunagba, Marywood Girls’ College Administrator, observed that, “Nigerians are very gifted; and I think, one of the areas of our giftedness is in the art. By the time you create a room for this art to be known globally, it provides tourism for the nation.https://dailytimes.ng/tourism/art-club-showcases-works-boost-employment-tourism/
