Do you have any plans for the public holiday on the 1st of October? Regardless, you should add this art exhibition holding on that day if you’re in or around Port Harcourt. The Call of the Niger Delta Art Expo will feature twenty artists based in the Niger Delta presenting works that celebrate Nigeria’s independence through the eyes of the Niger Delta.
