The Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art is organising a two-day training for media practitioners in the art and culture segment.
The programme is scheduled for June 10 and 11, 2026, at the museum, located at the Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos.
The theme of the event is New Narratives & Singular Communication in Arts Journalism: The Museo del Prado Experience.
The training is being put together to enable participants to refine their storytelling and reporting skills in arts journalism; learn audience-focused, ethical, and impactful communication techniques; gain fresh perspectives on media engagement in the creative sector; and connect with peers and build valuable professional networks.
To be part of this initiative, journalists are required to apply through this link on or before May 25, 2026, as spaces are limited, and only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
The organisers said this specialised workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s leading museum communication teams. The programme will be led by a highly respected and accomplished expert from the Prado Museum, bringing global insights and practical strategies to the Nigerian arts journalism landscape.
“At YSMA, we are excited to bring this opportunity to the Nigerian media community and to support the growth of thoughtful, innovative, and globally relevant arts journalism.
We encourage you to also share this opportunity with colleagues and peers who are passionate about covering arts and culture,” a notice from the organisation signed by its Head of Corporate Communications and Visitors’ Services, Mr Solomon Nkwagu, stated.
