School Arts Exhibition has taken the centre stage in Lagos as seven public and private schools converged on the Library Auditorium of the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Lagos to express their interpretation of the United Nations (UN).

From oil paints on canvass to pencil drawing, tie-dye, modelling, textile design and waste-to-wealth cultural Industry exhibits, the students put on display a total of seventy-seven (78) creative works of arts which reflected their rich knowledge of the works of the UN and what the organisation stands for.

Curating their works, the students explained the UN as a Peace-keeper, the human rights protector, a gender equality advocate, an umbrella organisation of all nations and the hope of the people. They also exhibited works that show what the UN does in the area of environment, housing, culture, education and health.

The one-week Exhibition which will end on Thursday 3 December 2015, was on the opening day livened up by music rendition by the Dothedream band led by Olaiwo Stephen and another solo by ‘Tripple T’ all from Yaba College of Technology, Lagos.
