Capacity Building Mentoring and Advocacy
Potters Gallery as a creative hub is committed to positively
influence lives through tailored incubation and accelerator
programs in the arts and creative space. We understand that
social transformation is possible only when minds are
transformed. We train and mentor young persons with
disabilities in public speaking, disability inclusion, leadership
skills, financial management, organizational skills, script
writing, branding, digital storytelling, new media, voice over,
SFX make-up, and filmmaking. One major impact of this
program is the improved performances at the Abuja
International Arts Ability Festival.
As a disability led organization, we are passionate about
developing young minds as advocates on disability inclusion, we
believe strongly that term ‘’Nothing About Us Without Us’’ in the
arts and creative industry, with the right content, persons with
disabilities will develop and showcase high quality works, build,
and connect with diverse audiences. This vision birthed the
CONNECTING VOICES LAB, a workshop and mentorship
program that has trained and mentored more than 50 young
persons with disabilities. In the past, we have collaborated with
the International Relief Fund, Bank of Industry, German Federal
Foreign Office, Goethe Institute, And Prince Claus Fund in
Netherlands. We remain the only creative hub, and art
organization consistently training and mentoring persons with
disabilities in Nigeria and the entire West Africa.
