According to the initiator of the project, Oyinda Adelumola, Affordable Art as an “idea came about because Ibadan was once the centre of art and culture and we want to put Ibadan back on the map for art, making it a focus and locus in addition to Lagos, which is densely concentrated. We seek to expand the market for art away from Lagos and bring more people to the art collecting fold”.
