Independent Arts is solving a critical challenge in Nigeria's creative industry: talented artists often struggle to bring their boldest visions to life.
We're a creative incubator that empowers Nigerian artists through funding, research, and distribution for passion projects.
Our vision is to create a future where independent creators have the resources and platform they need to succeed. We bring this to life by:
- Funding innovative creative projects
- Connecting local artists to global ideas and people
- Documenting and promoting cultural excellence
- Producing memorable events to celebrate our work
Since 2021, we've supported over a dozen projects and connected hundreds of artists through our events and programs. We maintain transparency in all our efforts and ensure diverse voices are supported.
IA is managed by Williams Ogah and Opemipo Aikomo, bringing together decades of experience in design, technology, and project management. We're based in Lagos but operate across the globe.
