There will also be Cultural Study Visits to Cultural and Tourism Sites across the hosting cities in Russia.

The Art Exhibition shall have the Nigerian Undergraduates’ Exhibition of Arts (NUXART), the Nigerian Secondary Schools Arts Exhibition (NISSART).as its fulcrum, with the works of some other seasoned Artists with few Artworks from selected Secondary Schools in Nigeria at the Exhibition. This is to further promote our unique brand.

The NUXART Exhibition has been held in USA, London, Ghana and Nigeria over the last 15 years and is designed to showcase the creative talents of Nigerian Undergraduate Students (in Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education across Nigeria) and some mentor-Artists. The initiative has remained a very potent tool for empowering and exposing Nigerian Arts and Artists, and instilling Entrepreneurial skills in them.

Nigerian Arts Group (a joint initiative of Pat Kairos Consult and Pat Kairos Gallery) consists of People and Professionals while the mission has so far received written endorsements from the National Gallery of Art (NGA), Nigerian – Russian Chamber of Commerce (NRCC) and the Nigeria Football Supporters’ Club (NFSC) and other organizations for our group participation in the 2018 FIFA world Cup fiesta in Russia.
