The Founder of Genfi’s Art Gallery, Mr Kwaku Genfi has called on the government and stakeholders to invest more in the creative arts industry to make it attractive for the younger generation.
According to him, the world now revolved around creative arts and when invested in would not only promote Ghanaian culture but be lucrative for the youth.
According to Mr.Genfi, this could help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.
Mr Genfi made the call at the opening of Genfi’s Art Gallery over the weekend, featuring Ghanaian cultural crafts, and paintings.
“Arts is everything as the world revolves around it, be it technology, buildings, culture, designs, paintings among others, almost everything has an artistic theme in it, that is why stakeholders need to invest in the sector to develop it,” he said.
He said Ghanaians believed that creative arts was a profession that was not lucrative enough to pursue or invest in, so much attention was not given to it.
However, he said the industry was a very lucrative one that everyone should pay attention to or pursue as a career.
“In the Western world, they know the future will be brighter with creative arts and already the world right now is all about being creative, so we should pay more attention to it as people are making a lot of money from it than you can imagine,” he noted.
Therefore, the Ghanaian Artist urged investors and stakeholders to invest and support the industry to grow and expand.
Mr Genfi also urged parents to allow their children to pursue creative arts as a career and support them when they are in it already.
Having painted over 30 paintings only this year, he noted it was his dream to train and mentor younger artists in the country to build up their skills.
He also noted that launching the gallery was to motivate other artists to focus more on their art and see it as a profession as they could make a better living with it.
To promote and expand the creative arts industry, he urged the government to build more technical schools to train and expose students to the creative arts world.
This he said would not only build their skills but would also encourage them to always paint and be creative.
“If anybody is willing to help a young person who is talented in any way, they should go ahead as it will go a long way in assisting them since we the industry players cannot do it alone,” he said.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
