This exhibition was to diversify what art is in the capital and not just limit it to just music and movies like what people think it is.
This was the first of its kind in the studios and they hope to continue giving the opportunity to young budding talents in the capital to be heard. The theme for the challenge was “Memories of the past and future”.
The SCCA Tamale Challenge saw artiste like Abdullah Abdul Rashid, Abass Safian, Mohammed Saani, Rashid Asigri, and Abdul Rashid Salma exhibit their work using pencil drawing, pen drawing, graffiti, painting and also pottery.
