Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Madam Odile Tevie, Director of Nubuke Foundation, has called on visual artists to acquire business and financial knowledge to effectively upscale their creative talents.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the University of Ghana\u2019s (UG) \u201cArtify\u201d exhibition, she said that artists must understand how to run their creativity as a business, not just rely on their innate abilities.<\/p>\n

Madam Tevie pointed out that while artistic talent was crucial, business acumen and project management skills were essential for the sustainable growth of the creative arts sector.<\/p>\n

By incorporating these skills, more investment and support for artists could be attracted, thereby boosting the sector\u2019s potential for economic growth.<\/p>\n

She also emphasized the economic potential of the creative arts sector, urging for its scaling up to attract both local and international investments and partnerships.<\/p>\n

The weeklong event was organised in partnership with Nubuke Foundation and with funding from the KGL Foundation.<\/p>\n

The exhibition featured drawings and paintings from eight visual artists, chosen by the University, who showcased their works at the Balme Library of the University of Ghana.<\/p>\n

Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, also announced plans to establish an arts studio to provide a platform for students to showcase their visual arts skills. Following the success of the Artify exhibition, the university will hold quarterly and yearly visual arts exhibitions.<\/p>\n

She also announced that, due to the success of the inaugural Artify project, the University would be hosting both quarterly and annual visual arts exhibitions moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative nurtures talent and fosters entrepreneurial spirit among young aspiring artists. Together, we cultivate creativity and transform passion into sustainable careers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Artify project, themed \u201cAmplifying Art as a Business,\u201d was initiated by the University\u2019s Office of Research, Innovation, and Development (ORID).<\/p>\n

It aimed to provide a skills development programme for aspiring visual artists, aged 18 to 30, who were either students or residents in the university\u2019s vicinity.<\/p>\n

The participants underwent an eight-week training course that included both artistic and business orientation, focusing on improving their craft and expanding their client base.<\/p>\n

The programme covered essential topics such as art practice fundamentals, copyright and intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and business management, all designed to help the artists become more business-oriented professionals.<\/p>\n
