The Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria’s building, located opposite Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH Idiaraba, Lagos, reveals quite an amazing therapeutic ingredient the art possesses.
vanguard Right from the reception, you are welcome with very colourful assorted visual art expressions displaying diverse subjects and messages. The works which range from beautiful landscapes, human forms, objects, etc., make you feel at ease immediately and gradually, get you drawn towards each piece thereby, calming earlier uneasy feelings about hospital environment.
That’s the power of art! It’s even more exciting to know that the works were produced by children who were encouraged to paint away their pain while in hospital; an exercise which became quite remedial for them.

All this no doubt, impacted negatively on every sector, leaving the art and culture sector, the hardest hit.
By the end of 2019, most art and culture producers and promoters had strategized on how to improve upon their earlier performances in 2020, but the arrival of the Coronavirus which is still ravaging the world punctuated their plans.
