Nigeria-Arts.net, a project of
Rakumi Arts International, works with
Nigerian artists to provide the tools, training, and the vehicle to begin
to harness the power of the Internet. Nigerian artists can exhibit and
promote their work to both local and international consumers, broadening
their audiences, defining new markets for their creative products, and
networking globally through Internet and email access.
Artist participants of Nigeria-Arts.Net are provided with the tools and
training to build their own dynamic web page with digital samples of their
works. They are also given a personal web-based email account, through
which they may be contacted and communicate to the world. Nigeria-Arts.Net
works with all Nigerian artists: the entire creative community, either
individually or through artist organizations.
The development is guided by an advisory board of Nigerian artists and
arts brokers as well as the participation of some of Nigeria's major arts
institutions and guilds.
Site Organization:
The site is organized into four major categories, each with respective
sub-categories. Because of the number, range and diversity of Nigerian artistic expression, readers may find a wide variety of artists under the same sub-category heading.
