La Foundation for the Arts has launched an exciting initiative called the Young Artists Series, designed to uplift and empower young artists in Ghana. Spearheaded by Chantel Akworkor Thompson, this program aims to provide a platform for emerging talents to showcase their work and gain the recognition they deserve. Chantel was motivated by the immense, yet often overlooked, talent in the Ghanaian art scene and saw an opportunity to foster a supportive environment where young artists could thrive. The inaugural exhibition features Jude Lartey’s compelling photo-documentary series, ‘Land of the Morees’, which captures the essence of Moree’s vibrant community and cultural heritage. Through meticulous selection and collaboration, the Young Artists Series highlights extraordinary artistry and seeks to preserve and celebrate Ghanaian culture. This initiative addresses the challenges faced by young artists, offering resources, mentorship, and opportunities to build a sustainable career in the arts.
