This annual event, renowned as the largest and longest-running art festival in Nigeria, is a platform dedicated to showcasing the immense talents of young artists across the nation.
Since its inception in 2007, LIMCAF has been a beacon for artistic creativity and empowerment, providing a stage for aspiring artists, regardless of gender or ability. The festival aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts while advocating for important social issues, such as gender equity and domestic violence. LIMCAF serves as a vital springboard for young artists, helping them transition into professional careers and making significant contributions to Nigeria’s vibrant art scene.
The theme for this year’s exhibition, Humanism, invites artists and audiences alike to reflect on the qualities that make us human. It emphasizes the spirit of altruism and the pursuit of the common good, urging us to take responsibility for our actions and relationships. Through their artworks, participants explore these concepts, offering unique perspectives on what it means to truly be human in today’s world.
The exhibition at Alliance Française Port Harcourt will feature a diverse collection of artworks from talented young artists in the Rivers State region. Visitors can expect a thought-provoking array of paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations that delve into the essence of humanism and the shared human experience.
The event will kick off on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at 4 PM. The exhibition will run from August 15 to 17, providing ample opportunity for art enthusiasts and the general public to engage with the pieces on display.
We invite everyone to join us at Alliance Française Port Harcourt for this exciting cultural event. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious about the creative expressions of our youth, this exhibition promises to be an inspiring and enriching experience. Come and support the next generation of Nigerian artists as they showcase their work and explore the depths of our shared humanity.
We look forward to welcoming you to this celebration of art and humanism!
