Apwal Fest: The Future of Fine Art in the South West Region.

On the 13th, 14th and 15th of October 2023, the Crystal Beauty Show was well represented as one of the official media partners of the Third Edition of the Apwal Fine Arts Festival. What exactly is Apwal Fest?

The Apwal Fine Arts Festival is a three-day event centred around an art exhibition, accompanied by creative workshops and productive debates. The purpose of the festival is to give Cameroonian visual artists a platform to showcase their creations and the opportunity to network with other visual artists.

Their ultimate objectives are:

– Bringing more attention and recognition to the visual arts scene in Cameroon.

– Empowering visual artists in our community and providing a constructive way for youths to express themselves.

– Giving visual artists in Cameroon a stable platform to put their work on display.

This year’s edition was held under the distinguished patronage of the South West Regional Delegate of Arts and Culture and saw 12 visual artists and one photographer and over 300 guests. This year we’re hoping to get more visitors. The artist registration portal for this year is unfortunately already closed. Nonetheless, we accept entries from artists all over Cameroon.The event will take place in Buea, from the 13th–15th of October 2023. This year’s theme is “Tetsei Ngeundem”: Elements of Nature. It’s open to the public, no tickets or entry fees.

We hope to be a part of the Apwal experience next year and it would be an honour to have you come along with us. Follow their social media accounts to stay in the know so you don’t miss the fourth edition!
