From 9AM to 4PM everyday on August 27 to August 31, 2012, more than 50 art teachers gathered at the Olumo Rock Complex in Abeokuta, Ogun State, for an event called ART TEACHERS RETREAT.
“The art retreat cum exhibition,” according to the organisers (ART SCOUT and ART AND SOULS STUDIO), “was meant to expose the art teachers to new concept and ideas, sharpen their skills and improve on their artistic practice and teaching with the aim of encouraging art participation and enrolment in Nigerian schools. It is an exchange platform for art teachers to interact with practicing professionals in the field of art and to share ideas, new artistic techniques, media and styles.”
The retreat was held in collaboration with OLUMO ROCK TOURIST COMPLEX and supported by the FINE AND APPLIED DEPARTMENT, FCE, ABEOKUTA.
