Lyno World: 2017

LYNO WORLD, NYSC SCHEME HOLDS ART COMPETITION/ EXHIBITION

Lyno World, an Art based organization in collaboration with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) scheme Lagos State, have concluded plans to hold an Art competition tagged: ‘NYSC CAMP ART CHALLENGE’.

The event which is scheduled for 3^rd December 2017 is part of the activities for the 2017 Batch ‘B’ orientation programme that began on 21st November, 2017 at Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.

With the NYSC Camp Art Challenge, we want to meet youths with artistic skills and potentials that need the necessary encouragement. The programme is aimed at sensitizing corps members interested in participating in the impending 2018 Lagos Corps Members art exhibition which is our long term goal for corps members in the arts- drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, graphics, animation, fashion design, makeup and related art careers irrespective of their discipline. Interested participants will be giving every procedural support and guidance.

Yaba College of Technology School of Art, Design and Printing Technology, the Cartoonists’ Association of Nigeria and other professional art bodies and institutions will be present at the competition.

The outstanding participants will be recognized and giving the required sustain to breakeven in the industry. They will gain publicity among their peers and meet prospective patrons as well.

While skilled draftsmen among the corps members are contesting, there will be sufficient art materials for others that want to express themselves playfully with art as we want corps members to catch fun that day doing something artistic.

The completion is designed to be in three rounds;- works done on the first round will be selected by juries, and at the final round non-contesting corps members will vote from among the best four. Works from the NYSC CAMP ART CHALLENE will be featured at our upcoming exhibition for the corps members.

Programmes of this category has become more relevant now since unemployment has been a major concern for our country as a result of the number of graduates turning out from various tertiary institutions yearly without been sure of being employed.

We are not out only to discover talents, but to promote them nationally and globally, thereby getting them gainfully employed in the arts, culture and tourism industry.
