On 26th February we were finally able to unveil our new building in Lagos. The highlight of the day was a discussion between Yinka Shonibare CBE RA and Creative Director of CCA Lagos Oyindamola Fakeye.

On 20th February we celebrated the local launch of our new residency space in Ijebu, Nigeria with guests from Lagos, dignitaries and villagers from Ikise.

We are excited to announce a new call out in partnership with the University of the Arts London and Art for the Environment (AER) residency programme.

Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation is looking for a Residency and Project Coordinator. This is a truly exciting role for someone who is passionate about working, facilitating and contributing to the burgeoning creative and cultural sector in Nigeria.

As the year draws to a close we wanted to share some of our press highlights from the last few months. The coverage spans everything from our exciting forthcoming launch of Guest Artists Space in Nigeria to our digital residency programme.

As part of the In The Studio BBC World Service series reporter Nicola Humphries joins Yinka Shonibare CBE RA to discuss the Ecology Green Farm, the G.A.S. Foundation residency space located in Ijebu.

One donation makes twice the impact as we join The Big Give Christmas Challenge to crowdfund for two new residencies at Guest Artists Space Foundation in Nigeria.
