As part of a groundbreaking initiative, Inscribe Art and the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture are proud to announce the inaugural Lagos Street Art Festival, slated to take place in May 2024. This unprecedented event will bring together artists, enthusiasts, and the public to celebrate the dynamic intersection of public art, urban beautification, and artistic expression.
We’re breathing life into the spaces within Lagos city. As part of the city ages, the infusion of art revitalizes these areas, providing a visual face-lift and instilling a sense of pride among Lagos residents. This revitalization not only enhances aesthetics but also elevates the overall energy of the city, creating a culturally rich urban landscape that resonates with its residents.
The maiden edition of the Lagos Street Art Festival promises an immersive experience transcending conventional art festivals. A five-day experiential festival will merge street art with pop culture, showcasing the talents of local and international artists through large-scale murals, installations, and interactive exhibits, transforming the city into an open-air art gallery.
