For five days, Lagos pulsed with the energy of artistic expression as strokes and colours on framed masterpieces were on full display, uniting some of the finest hands in the industry—art lovers, emerging talents, and seasoned collectors.
Glenfiddich, being one of the most awarded single malt whiskies in the world was present for the second edition of the +234 Art Fair, themed “Patronage,”; celebrating African artistry at its boldest.
A highlight of the festivities was an engaging panel session featuring Glenfiddich collaborator and creative output behind the limited edition custom packs 2024/2025, Williams Chechet, who set a bold tone for the conversation.
Titled “Art Meets Commerce: Patronage Through Branding,”; the discussion centred on how branding can serve as a powerful tool for driving art patronage. It unpacked the complex relationship between commerce and creativity, highlighting how strategic branding can amplify artistic identity, foster deeper audience engagement, and empower artists to maintain authenticity and creative control in a commercially driven world.
This panel served as a compelling prelude to Williams Chechet’s upcoming exhibition, set to open at SOTO Gallery towards the end of April.
As the next +234 Art Fair builds up, Get ready to live in your boldest form, pushing boundaries and achieving the impossible.
