Where groups meet for workshops in Benin City
Our workshops in Benin City are typically held in accessible community spaces or dedicated art zones within districts known for their cultural activity or ease of access. We aim for locations that are convenient for participants coming from various parts of the city. Areas around Government Reservation Area (GRA) or Oba's Palace vicinity offer suitable meeting points due to their central nature and established infrastructure.
For groups travelling from further afield within Edo State, such as from Uromi or Auchi, we select venues that minimise travel time once they reach the city. The focus is always on creating a comfortable and inspiring environment, whether that is a community hall in a lively neighbourhood or a private space adapted for creative work.

Street art and murals in Benin City
