Nigeria's UN Arts Ambassador visits the Rotary Youth Club
On Monday, February 8, 2010, the UN Arts Ambassador for Nigeria, Honorable
Ibiyinka Alao, came to the Fairhope-Point Clear Rotary Youth Club to do an art
presentation and workshop with the members of the club. The youth were fascinated with his presentation and really enjoyed trying to do
some artwork themselves. Nancy Raia, Community Arts Director at the Eastern Shore Art Center,
accompanied Ibiyinka and assisted him with the workshop. Before returning to Nigeria, Ibiyinka started a mural on the side of a Rotary
Youth Club and Nancy will complete the mural this spring.
