BENIN ARTS AND BOOKS FESTIVAL
The Benin Arts And Books festival is set to build and provide a platform of visibility and connection between established and budding writers and all forms of art creators in Edo state and those in the diaspora.
We are a consortium of like-minded creatives within Edo state who share a vision of achieving connectivity, visibility, accessibility, and enlightenment (CAVE) amongst budding and seasoned writers in and from Edo state. We are invested in creating an all-inclusive space (CAVE) for whole expressions of creative ideas and voices that define and chronicle the happenings of their time in diverse forms of art. We aim to serve as a platform of connectivity, accessibility and visibility amongst budding and seasoned writers and artists in Edo state, in Nigeria and of course, Nigerian artists in the diaspora as well.
