Tutuola Institute

We extend our sincere appreciation to Mrs Oluwatosin Olajide for her generous support of the IlaBar: A Hub for Art, Dialogue & Discovery campaign.

Her commitment to arts, culture, and community-based creative initiatives contributes meaningfully to sustaining independent cultural spaces in Nigeria. We are grateful for her belief in the vision of IlaBar and the work of the Tutuola Institute.

Thank you for standing with us.

IlaBar was created as a living space for art, dialogue, music, and discovery in Osogbo—a place where artists, writers, thinkers, and community members can meet, reflect, and imagine together. It exists to keep cultural exchange alive beyond major city centres and to nurture meaningful conversations rooted in place.

In 10 days, our crowdfunding campaign will come to an end. We have made progress, but we are not there yet. Still, we remain hopeful.

Your support—no matter how modest—can make a real difference. Every contribution helps us sustain IlaBar as an open, independent space for creativity, learning, and shared experience. Supporting also means sharing this campaign with others who believe in the importance of art and cultural infrastructure.

Please support, and please help us spread the word.

Together, we can keep IlaBar alive.

Best regards,

We extend our sincere gratitude to our donors so far for their generosity and belief in the vision of IlaBar: A Hub for Art, Dialogue & Discovery.

We would like to specially acknowledge two anonymous donors, whose quiet generosity and trust have made a meaningful difference. Your support reminds us that solidarity does not always need a name to have impact.

We also thank AbdulKareem Nafisat for her kind contribution and encouragement. Your support strengthens our resolve to sustain IlaBar as an open and nurturing space for creativity, dialogue, and cultural exchange in Osogbo.

To all our supporters, your belief in this journey affirms the importance of independent cultural spaces. We are deeply grateful.

Peace,
