Commercial law firm Odujinrin & Adefulu has transformed its Lagos office into an art gallery to celebrate Nigerian art and culture.
The event, tagged An Evening of Nigerian Art & Culture, was held on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, two days before the firm’s 54th anniversary. It brought together artists, creatives and other industry stakeholders.
For the occasion, the firm’s garden, meeting rooms and corridors were converted into exhibition spaces, displaying artworks and bespoke pieces by Nigerian artists. The exhibition was organised in collaboration with the firm’s art advisory partner, June Creative Art Advisory Limited.
Two guided viewing sessions allowed guests to engage with the artworks and learn about the ideas behind them.
Seven featured artists – Mary Adebayo, Bunmi Babatunde, Phillips Nzekwe, Julie Nzekwe, Victor Obot, Tunde Owolabi and Odinakachukwu Francis – attended the event and interacted with guests about their creative processes.
The programme opened with welcome drinks and music, followed by remarks from Seun Alli of June Creative Art Advisory Limited.
Among those present were the firm’s founding partner, Chief Oladipo Odujinrin; Managing Partner, Dr Adeoye Adefulu; and partners Damilola Adetunji, Lucky Ayeki and Olubukola Olabiyi.
A live saxophone performance by 16-year-old musician Temilayo Abodunrin was one of the evening’s highlights.
The event also featured a fireside chat with the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Inkblot Productions, Zulumoke Oyibo, who discussed changes in Nollywood over the past decade.
She highlighted improvements in production quality and storytelling, citing Inkblot’s film, The Wedding Party, as an example of how ambitious productions could raise industry standards.
Oyibo also discussed KAVA, Inkblot’s streaming platform, and how streaming services have expanded access to Nigerian films in Africa and the diaspora while creating new distribution opportunities for filmmakers.
The event ended with remarks by Adefulu, who thanked the participating artists, speakers, the art advisory partner and guests.
The firm said the event reflected its belief that a thriving creative community contributes to economic growth and reaffirmed its commitment to promoting Nigerian art and culture.
