School of Creative Leadership unveils exhibition

The School of Creative Leadership (SCL) has unveiled an exhibition titled "Outside the Lines" at Onikan, Lagos Island, showcasing works by nine emerging artists from various states in Nigeria and London. The exhibition, which runs until November 21, marks the culmination of SCL's inaugural fellowship program. The initiative explores the connection between artistic potential, leadership development, and the power of creatives to influence society.

The fellowship combines leadership training with artistic practice, enabling participants to navigate institutions, understand markets, mobilize resources, build collaborations, and contribute to their communities. The exhibition features 28 artworks by nine fellows and aims to demonstrate that artists can contribute beyond creating artworks, becoming problem-solvers, institution builders, and drivers of social and economic change.

An artist talk and capstone review are scheduled for November 15, where Social Impact: The Rebirth Canvas will be presented. The program also includes an exhibition walk-through, allowing visitors to engage with the fellows' works and creative journeys. Jacqueline Suowari, the founder of SCL, is a Nigerian multidisciplinary visual artist and cultural leader with over 15 years of experience in artistic practice and creative development.
