A major retrospective and group exhibition titled “The Gregorian Art Exhibition” is set to take place at St. Gregory’s College in Lagos, Nigeria, from April 25 to 27, 2026. The event honors the legendary Nigerian modernist Bruce Onobrakpeya and will feature works by him alongside other notable alumni and artists including the late Victor Uwaifo and David Dale. The opening is expected to draw high-profile figures such as Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe.
This exhibition is significant as it celebrates Bruce Onobrakpeya’s status as a UNESCO-recognised "Living Human Treasure" and his pivotal role in shaping contemporary Nigerian art. By bringing together masters, mid-career, and emerging artists, the event highlights the importance of institutional legacy and the continuity of the Nigerian visual arts tradition within the global cultural landscape.
