Firms partner to boost Nigeria’s creative economy

The WINGS Office Complex, one of Lagos’ distinctive business and lifestyle destinations on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Victoria Island, is supporting the CraftVantage 2026 Graduate Exhibition as part of a shared commitment to creativity, enterprise, youth development, and social impact.

The exhibition, led by CraftVantage, will bring together emerging Nigerian artists, collectors, cultural leaders, business executives, students, families, and members of the wider community for a three-day programme celebrating art, sustainability, and the future of creative work.

Speaking on the collaboration, George Adjei-Ampofo, Director, Wings, said, “At WINGS, we believe office spaces should be more than working environments. They should enable meaningful conversations, support enterprise, and create opportunities for communities to connect. Supporting CraftVantage aligns with our commitment to youth, creativity, and purposeful social impact.”

The CraftVantage 2026 Graduate Exhibition will showcase original works by selected emerging artists while creating opportunities for mentorship, exposure, and long-term professional growth.

According to Oluwayemisi “Misi” Ogunbodede, Founder, CraftVantage, “Partnerships like this matter because they show what is possible when private institutions use their platforms to advance culture, education, and enterprise.” WINGS is not just providing a space; it is helping create an environment where young artists can be seen, heard, and taken seriously.”

The collaboration reinforces the importance of cross-sector support in building Nigeria’s creative economy and creating pathways for the next generation of artists.

For CraftVantage, the choice of WINGS Office Complex is significant. The venue reflects the quality, ambition, and contemporary outlook the platform hopes to bring to the development of young Nigerian artists. Located in the heart of Victoria Island, WINGS offers a refined setting for conversations around culture, commerce, and community. The Wings Office Complex is described as a premium office complex on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue with sophisticated business facilities in Victoria Island.
