In the first quarter of 2026, we present our inaugural 3-day CraftVantage Graduate Exhibition, bringing together 10 outstanding artists from Yabatech and UNILAG, Class of 2025. Our debut showcase is anchored in the theme Lines, Patterns & Colour: Grounded in Heritage, Designed for Tomorrow, reflecting how young artists reinterpret cultural memory while shaping bold creative futures.
We have commissioned each artist to produce three original works using diverse, sustainability-conscious materials, reflecting innovation, identity, and the evolving language of contemporary African art.
