rele a new artistic destination in Lagos

5 Military Street, Onikan Lagos www.rele.co rele was conceived as a response to an innate and unexplainable love for the arts. This love extends and cuts across various artistic mediums and platforms, thereby creating a constant desire to seek, develop and promote collaborations. With rele, every artist that is encountered and nurtured is the STAR. The artist exudes qualities that needs to be seen and felt, because of what use is a gift if it is not shared? rele is home to the artist who needs a safe place while daring to be different, home to the artist that is versatile and evolving, home to the artist who quite simply just wants to create. The mission here is to build the gap between the artist and the rest of the world. Catch the maiden exhibition through the month of February 2015 featuring: Taye Quaye Joe Amenechi Osione Itegboje Kayode Adegbola Zainabu Jalio Tunde Kelani Victor Ehikhamenor Taiye Idahor Wole Lagunju
