One of the core of every country’s most lucrative export is ‘Creative Arts’. The problem most countries face is the ability to package and manage the sector to reap its fruits.

In aid of this, the School of Creative Arts at the University of Education, Winneba has thought it wise to educate the sector and all its related parts or elements to better their craft and operations to help yield the desirable outcomes.

The school is once again organizing a power packed conference dubbed, “Creative Arts Conference 2022” which is scheduled to happen from the 28th of June to the 30th of June, 2022. The conference which is stemmed on the theme, “Redeveloping Creative Arts Education Policy And Research For Sustainable Industrial Development, Creative Arts Policy Framework, Creative Arts Therapy, Creative Economy, Among Others” will help and explore the avenues for developing and/or redeveloping efficient and effective policies that will strengthen cultural and creative industries.

The team is inviting all international bodies, students, early and seasoned career professionals, scholars and educators, museum specialists, designers and marketers/promoters of the creative arts industry. Also, scholars of other research areas that in one way or the other is linked to creative arts production, branding, marketing, publicity and promotion are not left out.

The conference as chaired by the noble Vice Chancellor of UEW, Prof. Mawutor Avoke, and hosted by the Dean of the School of Creative Arts, Prof. Patrique de-Graft Yankson, Prof. Daniel Kodzo Avorgbedor and Prof. Emmanuel Obed Acquah are the keynote speakers. Also, Madam Janet Edna Nyame, the Executive Director of the National Commission on Culture (NCC) and Madam Gyankroma Akuffo-Addo, the Director of Creative Arts Agency (CAA) will be the guest speakers for the event.

This is an event that will stultify the fears that impede the growth of the creative arts industry, so it will be worthwhile for all and sundry who matter in the industry to be a part of.
