A selection of the most outstanding portraits will be exhibited from October 20 to 26 while part of the money raised will be donated to charity.

The highlight of the exhibition will be a seven-year compilation showcase by Diseye Tantua, renowned artist, about artists living in Ghana and Nigeria; their working lives, thinking processes and inspiration as well as artworks done by sickle cell patients to support the fight against sickle cell anaemia.
