โ€˜Made by Africa, Loved by the Worldโ€™ Returns for Fifth Year

May 22, 2025

The Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art (YSMA), Pan-Atlantic University in collaboration with the Guild of Professional Fine Artists of Nigeria (GFA) and Kenna Partners, hosted a transformative workshop titled “Empowering Artists: Navigating Legal and Contractual Issues in the Arts World” at the museum on January 17, 2025.

This workshop, the first of its kind with the GFA, placed a spotlight on copyright practices and intellectual property rights, emphasising their pivotal role in protecting artistsโ€™ works, fostering innovation, and driving national development.

The facilitators, Okechukwu Ekweanya and Ifunanya Ikwueto, addressed the critical need for awareness and enforcement of art-specific agreements, which, if overlooked, not only short-change artists but also hinder the creative sectorโ€™s potential to significantly contribute to the economy.

At the heart of the discussion was the recognition of copyright as an invaluable asset that secures legal rights and income opportunities for creators, regardless of who owns the physical creations.

Dr. Jess Castellote, the museum director, highlighted the museumโ€™s commitment to empowering the creative sector:

โ€œAt YSMA, we recognize that the creative economy is a driving force for innovation, cultural preservation, and economic growth. By equipping artists with knowledge of their rights, particularly around copyright, we aim to bridge a crucial gap that not only strengthens their careers but also supports national development.โ€

In his brief address, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, Senior Partner at Kenna Partners, commented on the role artists play in immortalising history through their art and the need to protect their rights in these words:

โ€œAs artists, you are the brains that create value in the society; you are the finest lines that document our culture, and express who we are, our history and journey as a people. In the business of art, it is vital to know your rights, to enable you make informed decisions and set the terms clear in your dealings and professional practice.โ€

President of GFA, George Edozie, emphasised the workshopโ€™s importance, citing that โ€œthis initiative goes beyond education. It is a call to action for artists to understand and assert their rights. By protecting their intellectual property, they ensure their creativity is respected and fairly rewarded, which in turn elevates the entire creative industry.โ€

Through initiatives like this, Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art solidifies its position as a catalyst for empowering Nigeriaโ€™s art community, addressing systemic challenges, and harnessing the power of creativity to drive socio-economic development.

Thirty artists participated, and were equipped with the knowledge and tools to safeguard their intellectual property and leverage it for sustainable careers.
