The package this year is going to be unique, unique in the sense
that the National Gallery of Art (NGA), Nigeria and the (Art
Galleries Association of Nigeria (AGAN) agreed to use it to
honour a renowned Nigerian printmaker, Bruce Onobrakpeya who
is currently celebrating a season of his 80th birthday. In doing this,
we have carved out the biggest booths to accommodate works
representing each of the techniques in his printmaking for public
viewing.

May I use this forum to inform you that NGA has been part of his
celebration, hence in addition to support in other areas, it packaged
and published a comprehensive exhibition brochure entitled Bruce
Onobrakpeya: Footprint of a Master Artist which accompanied his
exhibition at Skoto Gallery, New York, U.S.A. The Gallery and
AGAN wish him a happy birthday celebration and many, many
years of good health ahead.
