Running from November 23 to December 3, 2025, the exhibition doubles as a call to support the arts, preserve cultural heritage,and empower future creators.
According to Okhide, Nigerian Arts Connect is “a movement that reminds the world that art remains the heartbeat of culture and a powerful voice for the nation.”
