It is worthy to note that Creative Hands Art Culture project is aimed at youth artistes training to re-orientate younger people and expose them to various arts and social entrepreneurship platforms. The aim is towards Arts enterprise for National development. Mr Jerry Adesewo’s Arojah Theatre has been engaged in Artiste training like: The Art of Puppetry and also Training on At Management : Fund Raising and Artiste Management.
