News | Teen artists’ festival now to hold next month





The second edition of the annual Nigerian Festival of Teen Artists (NIFESTEENA) earlier scheduled to hold next week in Kaduna, Kaduna state has been postponed to next month. It will now hold from May 6 to 9, 2018. A statement from the Hill-Top Creative Arts Foundation, organizer of the festival, explained that the postponement was to accommodate the interests of secondary school students currently on vacation.  

The first edition of the festival held last year in Minna, Niger state. NIFESTEENA is a platform where Nigerian teen artists who are students or pupils and aged no more than 20-yrs annually converge to display their talents through contests, exhibitions and discourses.
