This will bring in much-needed investments and provide a boost to the local economy.
Job Opportunities
The establishment of the Visual Arts Centre will also create job opportunities for people in Kwara State.
With the post-production facilities, galleries, and screening space, there will be a need for skilled professionals to operate and maintain these facilities.
