Creative Economy Strategy and Development company INSPIRO has unveiled ART ATTACK 2026, a month-long contemporary art experience scheduled to hold from December 1 to 31 at Freedom Park, Lagos, as part of the venue’s RETURN TO EDEN 2 grand reopening celebration.
The initiative is expected to bring together artists, collectors, creatives and art enthusiasts for a celebration of visual arts, cultural expression and creativity.
Anchored on the theme, “ART BELONGS TO EVERYONE,” ART ATTACK seeks to make original artworks more accessible by taking art beyond conventional gallery spaces and creating opportunities for both emerging and established artists to showcase their works to wider audiences.
The event will feature paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media and art installations, alongside live art demonstrations, workshops, art sales, talks and creative conversations.
According to INSPIRO, the initiative is also designed to bridge the gap between artists, collectors and the general public while exploring the commercial and cultural potential of Nigeria’s visual arts sector.
As part of the programme, artists are invited to submit between three and five artworks for consideration and possible exhibition. Submissions are open across painting, photography, other two-dimensional works, sculpture and pottery, with participation free of charge, subject to review and selection.
The organisers stated that paintings, photographs and other two-dimensional works must not exceed 24 x 30 inches, including frames, while sculptures and pottery must not exceed 30 inches in height, including the base.
Participating artists are also encouraged to price their works affordably to promote accessibility and encourage sales.
Interested artists are required to send clear images of their proposed works to [email protected], copying [email protected] and [email protected]. The submission deadline is Monday, November 23, 2026.
ART ATTACK will form part of Freedom Park’s wider RETURN TO EDEN 2 – THE REBIRTH OF FREEDOM PARK LAGOS celebration, which will feature activities highlighting culture, heritage, creativity and community engagement.
INSPIRO said the inaugural edition also marks its 25th anniversary and reinforces its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s creative economy through platforms that help creative talents gain visibility, generate value and access economic opportunities.
The event is curated by Arto Studio and Soloadynamic and powered by INSPIRO PRODUCTIONS.
The organisers have invited artists, collectors, corporate organisations, cultural institutions and members of the public to participate in the December celebration.
