The year’s competition was a celebration of art and innovation which brought together artists, innovators, art lovers, investors, and the bank's customers.
ARTENT!ON 2O23 focused on Sustainability through Art and this was exhibited through the various art pieces that were presented by the participants. The competition featured artworks made from car tires to paintings created from recycled materials, showing how art can inspire action for the environment, society, and the economy.
Seth Nah Oklikah, a person with disability, who was adjudged the first prize winner, took home a cash reward of ¢30,000.
His artwork titled ‘Beautiful Girl’ was made from discarded beverage cans and rubber. Consolation prizes of ¢20,000, ¢10,000 and ¢5,000 were won by Aminu Salawu, Lanto Kwame Mawunyo Azasime, and Charlotte Ofobiri respectively.
The six other artists received cash prizes of ¢2,000 each for their participation in the competition. All participants received tools and were taken through entrepreneurial coaching and mentoring by the SG Ghana Home of Business centre.
Participants visited some notable galleries like La Gallery, Artist Alliance, World Faze and Nubuke Foundation to gain industry insights and knowledge.
They were mentored and coached by the acclaimed upcycling artist, Nana Annof.
