Continuing its mission to amplify African creativity, the Africa Prime Initiative (#API) partnered with #GallerySoview in 2023 to support the next generation of #Ghanaian artists. This partnership awarded US$2,000 grants to five talented emerging artists—Elroy Salam, Emmanuel Afriyie Arthur, Quarshie Dela, Hannah Baah Entsiful, and Mary-Jo Adjetey—to help them realize their creative potential.   These grants provided the artists with the resources they needed, from materials and equipment to development opportunities, enabling them to create work that resonates with both local and international audiences. In September 2024, Gallery Soview launched "I SEE EVERYTHING YOU CAN BE", an exhibition that celebrated the innovation and progress of these artists as they continue to shape #Ghana's creative landscape.   Learn more about how API is helping #Ghanaian artists amplify their voices on the global stage: https://africaprimeinitiative.com/case-study/the-api-gallery-sovi...

  In 2023, the Africa Prime Initiative (#API) partnered with @LomanArt to support and promote talented visual artists in #Senegal. Together, we supported five talented individuals—Amy Celestina Ndione, Fatou Mandoye Mbengue, Laye Thioune, Mouhamad Jawad, and Xaadim Bamba Mbow—with US$2,000 grants each to further their artistic journeys. These funds provided the artists with resources to explore new opportunities, from residencies and exhibitions to materials and training, helping them showcase their creativity on a global platform.   This autumn, their progress was celebrated with ‘Soppiku: Metamorphosis – The Evolution of Artistic Identity’ at Loman Art, an exhibition highlighting their transformation and the power of investing in local talent.
