There's very little institutional support for the arts in Nigeria. A lot of talented people have great ideas but can't afford to bring them to life.
Independent Arts is a network of people, ideas, and resources to keep our most precious dreams alive. We help Nigerian artists produce passion projects by providing research, grants and press. Since 2021 we've worked with dozens of artists and paid out over $100k in commissions.
IA exists to:
- 1. Fund creative projects that nurture emerging talent
- 2. Connect artists to global ideas and people
- 3. Support the documentation of new culture
- 4. Produce events to celebrate excellent work
All profits are re-invested into the company.
