art for children
In a monoeconomy country like Nigeria,the need to diversify so as to harness all other talents in other fields becomes necessary. This was why Adeniyi Olusegun established The Children Art Club in Abeokuta.The Children Art Club, an unequal Art engagement for the Nigeria child is moving forward with increase in participation.
It is a creative outlet where the kids come together every third Saturdays of the month to express unhindered their artistic talents and learn new skills. In the words of Pablo Picasso, “Every child is an artist; the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up”.
According to the initiator, Olusegun Adeniyi, “the children are our most precious resources; when we fail to recognize these kids’ talents, they recede and diminished. We cannot allow their God’s given talents to go to waste. With the right guidance and stimulating environment, the children can be helped to discover and harness their inner creative genius.”
The Children Art Club is held at the Cultural and Musical Heritage Centre, OLUMO ROCK, Ikija, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The March edition was held on March 21 while the next edition holds on 18th April, 1015.
