The Centre showcases a diverse collection from a wide range of Nigerian artists, offering visitors a deep dive into Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage through the lens of art. It can take an entire day to fully explore the various exhibits and collections.
The gallery is open seven days a week and frequently hosts art exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events. For those seeking a hands-on experience, Nike Art Centre offers art courses and week-long retreats in various Nigerian locations, including Osogbo in Osun State, Ogidi in Kogi State, and Abuja. These retreats, organized by Nike Tours, provide overnight accommodation in Nike’s guesthouses, where participants can engage in traditional African crafts such as adire, batik, indigo dyeing, beadwork, painting, and carving.
