Law firm transforms office into art gallery

Commercial law firm Odujinrin & Adefulu has transformed its Lagos office into an art gallery to celebrate Nigerian art and culture.

The event, tagged An Evening of Nigerian Art & Culture, was held on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, two days before the firm’s 54th anniversary. It brought together artists, creatives and other industry stakeholders.

For the occasion, the firm’s garden, meeting rooms and corridors were converted into exhibition spaces, displaying artworks and bespoke pieces by Nigerian artists. The exhibition was organised in collaboration with the firm’s art advisory partner, June Creative Art Advisory Limited.

Two guided viewing sessions allowed guests to engage with the artworks and learn about the ideas behind them.

Seven featured artists – Mary Adebayo, Bunmi Babatunde, Phillips Nzekwe, Julie Nzekwe, Victor Obot, Tunde Owolabi and Odinakachukwu Francis – attended the event and interacted with guests about their creative processes.

The programme opened with welcome drinks and music, followed by remarks from Seun Alli of June Creative Art Advisory Limited.

Among those present were the firm’s founding partner, Chief Oladipo Odujinrin; Managing Partner, Dr Adeoye Adefulu; and partners Damilola Adetunji, Lucky Ayeki and Olubukola Olabiyi.

A live saxophone performance by 16-year-old musician Temilayo Abodunrin was one of the evening’s highlights.
