Today, we feature a contribution from one of our dedicated followers, Tetteh Derrick Narh , who shares the following insight:

He Writes:

As an artist in Ghana, I’m compelled to speak out about the struggles we face in getting our work recognised, respected, and supported. It’s disheartening to see that in a country where art can be a powerful tool for economic growth, job creation, and social change, we’re instead marginalised and overlooked.

The lack of avenues and opportunities for contemporary artists in Ghana is staggering. We struggle to get exhibitions, funding, and critical acclaim, which makes it challenging to sustain ourselves and our craft. This not only affects us as individuals but also the next generation of artists, who may be discouraged from pursuing their passion.

Moreover, the disregard for art in Ghana is deeply rooted in our cultural values. We prioritise other industries over art, forgetting that art can generate significant revenue and create jobs. By neglecting art, we’re not only stifling creativity but also missing out on economic opportunities.

The impact of this neglect is far-reaching. Unemployment and crime rates are on the rise, and art can play a crucial role in addressing these issues. By supporting and investing in art, we can create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and provide alternatives to crime.

It’s time for us to reevaluate our priorities and recognise the value of art in our society. We need to create more opportunities for artists, provide funding and resources, and celebrate our artistic heritage. By doing so, we can empower the next generation of artists and contribute to the growth and development of our country.

As an artist, I believe that art has the power to transform lives, communities, and nations. It’s time for Ghana to recognise and harness this power. We need to be given the ears, opportunities, and respect we deserve, and it’s time for our leaders to take action and support the arts.
