“Most of the times, attention is given to music, movies, fashion but we forget that art is also a means of entertainment and that is why, my team and I came up with this art show.
“We believe that Ghana has more to offer when it comes to art and we trust that when the right recognition is given to it, Ghana would be able to rub shoulders with the world in that regard,” she said.
“The event is just to give artists the chance to showcase their creativity and that is where I culled my theme from, participants will come and get creative with their works with “The Creatives.” We are celebrating the talents in art,” she added.
The show that has Visat 1, Enewsgh.com and Live Fm as media partners will also give artists the exposure to sell their works and also reach a variety of arts enthusiasts both youthful and mature patrons.
