Opinion: Lagos' Thriving Creative Scene and the Untapped POWER of "Participatory Art" in Galleries

Looking forward to hosting an event post Covid-19? 👀 . . Here's why I think you could make Jhalobia Park and Garden your ideal spot. (watch the video) 🤗 . . Impeccably perched on Airport Road, this two-acre facility was conceived in 1998 by Mrs Veronica Adepoju and her two daughters, Ifuemi and Ameto who are landscape designers. 👩‍👧‍👧 . . Over the years, it has grown to become one of the most sought after green places in the city of Lagos with a capacity of seating up to 2,500 guests. 😱 . . If you'd like more info, I've written a quick review of Jhalobia Park and Garden and it's currently up on my blog. The Link is in my Bio! 😏 . . Anyone who reads this article also gets an exclusive danfo travelogue. 😁 . . Let's Go! See you on the other side. 👨‍💻 . .

Call this the best 'Exhibition Art Gallery' in the City of Lagos. 🗺 . . Scoring multiple features on @channelstelevision Art House and other media outlets, there is no doubt that the Thought Pyramid Art Centre is a special place for the African Artist. ✍ . . The Gallery focuses on paintings, whether abstract, oil on canvas or digital. And it is also popular for a daunting collection of art literature and comics. 🤗 . . Curious I asked, "what's the least priced work here?" 🤔 Response: an affordable 30,000 artwork while the most expensive was a whopping Four Million Naira piece with the @thoughtpyramidabuja branch even housing more expensive artworks! 💸 . . Art can be very rewarding, the Thought Pyramid 'thought' me that. 🤑 . . #everythingnaart #artxlagos #artistsoninstagram #thoughtpyramidlagos #thoughtpyramidartcentre #art #artlagos #zotzon #ericotrips (at Thought Pyramid Art Centre, Lagos) https://www.instagram.com/p/B71gfXXALMG/?igshid=1tq79zwsx83l5

Update! My friend, @lyrical_genius_leo and I visited this cool #Art Gallery in the #Lagos City Mall. 🏛 . . It showcases diverse artworks with a strong aura of miniature bronze heads🎃, one of the best things I loved about 'Omolayo Art Gallery' was their summer program, each summer, students are registered here to develop their art skills at vey affordable prices. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 . . I even did a short video review (my first ever) >>> just to show you how much I loved it (biko don't rate, just waka pass) 🤣 . . Watch this space, more art coming your way soon! 🎨 . . #everythingnaart #artxlagos #omolara #thisislagos #artgallery #ericotrips (at Lagos City Mall, Onikan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7QfHyYAxoY/?igshid=5zwtallqdy12

#7. YELLOW OF LAGOS SERIES "Palmgrove, Yaba, Oyinbo!" The bus conductor chanted vigorously as commuters plunged into the rickety bus. "Enter with your 100 Naira change 'mi o ni change o' Ehen," he said. I was already seated and I'd earlier calculated that it'd be impossible for him not to get change especially with the number of people in the bus. The journey began and when he asked, "owo mi da," I gladly gave him my neat 500 Naira note. Outraged, he screamed, "where I wan see change now!" The journey continued for another 30 minutes and on alighting the vehicle, I asked, "Conductor my change oo." He began to explain to me how he'd split the money with me and another passenger. "So this was the infamous pairing my friends always spoke about", I thought to myself. Anyways, I followed the man around the market in search of a kind heart to "change this money" thus wasting additional time. We finally got someone and parted ways. And I vowed never to travel without "change" if I'd be taking a #Danfo ever again! #TheYellowofLagos #travelblog #goexplore #lagosliving #Lagosblogger #nigeriantravelblogger #ericotrips (at Ikorodu) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6A53fbgkEu/?igshid=eyfv0j1sphit
