The five-day exhibition, which runs until July 19, 2026, will officially open at 4:00 p.m. The show will be open to visitors daily from 9:00 a.m.
Curated by Kingsley Abeng, the exhibition explores contemporary social, cultural and personal realities through the lens of visual art. The theme, Open Letter, invites artists to use their works as messages that question, challenge and reflect on issues affecting society, encouraging dialogue between artists and the public.
According to the organisers, the regional exhibition provides an important platform for emerging and established artists from the Calabar/Uyo region to showcase their creative expressions while contributing to conversations about Africa's evolving cultural landscape.
As part of the exhibition's closing activities, LIMCAF will host a sip and paint closing day experience on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The interactive event will offer participants an afternoon of painting, music, drinks and networking in a relaxed atmosphere. Organisers noted that no previous painting experience is required, making the event accessible to everyone interested in exploring their creativity.
Supported by the Ford Foundation, the Life in My City Art Festival remains Nigeria's longest-running youth art festival, using its regional exhibitions to identify and promote emerging artistic talent ahead of its national finale. The Calabar/Uyo exhibition is expected to attract artists, collectors, students and art enthusiasts from across the region.
