G.A.P ( Guild of Artistes and Poets) We support all individuals; all expressions and interpretations are given room. What is the GAP?
The GAP is a non- profit organization, which aims at developing,fostering and promotion of the creative arts within and beyond Nigeria. Founded in 2001 by Paul Okeugo and Audu Maikori, the vision for GAP was to provide a place where creative minds could express their art, a place where people could play and learn at the same time. At GAP we accept and applaud all forms and types of art and philos
ophies and strive to use our leisure to explore them thereby expanding our knowledge and acting as a much needed catalyst for positive change in all areas of human endeavor. The GAP encourages creativity not only as a means of self expression but as a means to empower the people because KNOWLEDGE is POWER. We do not always AGREE in the GAP, but we accept the right and the privilege to DISAGREE. The GAP is the book club, the poet’s corner, the musician’s audience, the rapper’s delight and the painter’s gallery. The GAP is the actor’s stage, the author’s reader. The GAP is the moviegoer’s box office and the court jester’s court. The GAP is the avid student of life’s philosophies. The GAP is heated discussions and the clashing of intellectual( and some not-too-intellectual) views in the melting pot of peers. It is the laughter of old friends and understanding between new one. The GAP is camaraderie, companions and colleagues working together to rebuild and repair the torn fabric of our society.The GAP is you, the GAP is me...the GAP is us...
