dc.description.abstractThe development of art education in Nigeria has been a reflection of socio-cultural and political practices; and social and economic changes from traditional times through the colonial era to the contemporary period. Despite the efforts of the artists and art educators, there is inadequate literature on them to enlighten and educate readers about their contributions. Also, there has been no comprehensive study of these artists and art educators, so they remain anonymous in their professional obligations. The specific objectives of the study were to: determine the contributions of individuals to art administration, art education, professional practice in art, publications in art, and public awareness of art; identify those who have won special awards/honours; and determine the developmental 1evel of art in Nigeria. A combination of descriptive and historical research methods were used and the two types of instruments used were a questionnaire and an interview guide. Seven selected artists and art educators (Wangboje, Fasuyi, Okeke, Grille, Akolo, Ekeada and Ojo) were sampled, while secondary materials were obtained from books, journal articles, exhibition catalogues files among others. The major findings showed that: i. they have made significant contributions to art administration in the country; ii. they have played a pioneering role in the teaching of art and art education at various levels of education; iii. they have contributed to professional practice in art through the holding of exhibitions, the organization and participation in art workshops and conferences; iv. they own private galleries and art training workshops; v. they have won National and International awards/honours; and vi. they have contributed to public awareness in art through publications, commissions, and community services among others. It was concluded that although the colonization of Nigeria and the early efforts of the missionaries saw to it that "educated" Nigerians had no regards for their art and culture, the artists and art educators have made an impact. This has happened in an environment where the educational system has not made an overt effort at cultivating cultural awareness in the elites as well as making them consumers of their own art.en_US
