Thank you ma’am.
I would advise to call the gallery themselves via the contact on their site: http://www.nikeart.com. They are responsive.
Hope that helps!
Am interested in doing my SIWES Training here (Industrial training),a student of FCE(sp)OYO from the department of fine and applied arts…pls I will like to know more on how to gain entry for my programme,thanks slot.
I have been to the one in Abuja, and trust me it is nothing like that of Lagos. In Abuja, it’s more of a research centre and workshop area, with hostel for staff and student on-site. Nevertheless it unique in it’s own way – like the infinity garden right from the entrance to the main halls to the beautifully sculptures made from scrap metal.
Well, it’s a sight to appreciate for the art lovers.
