The Next African Arts & Culture Heroes
This initiative is designed to promote Arts, Culture and Tourism among the youths in Ghana.
Art is an integral aspect of life. Its socio-economic impact and benefits to society are enormous. Visual arts contribute in diverse ways to the development of society in areas such as technology, agriculture, entertainment, architecture, politics, education, etc. However, in Ghanaian society art is not given due prominence because of some wrong views about it. These negative impressions make the visual arts students have low self-esteem. Also, the visual arts programme is the last option by most parents for their wards in terms of program selection. Discouragement from other non-visual art teachers is also a contributory factor.
