The exhibition in Enugu and Lagos were well received by the different audiences. In both cities, they provided an exciting departure from the usual bread-and-butter exhibits, which have become so prevalent in the art circuit in Nigeria. Most visitors to the exhibitions confessed that the shows were very educative and represented a useful bridge between the past, the present, and the future.

From our own assessment, many of the young artists who visited the shows were positively affected, as new vistas were obviously opened to them through the critical and practical interface of classical and modern uli works. Above all, the exhibitions, through their major accompanying texts attempt a stylistic classification of uli, an aspect not addressed by previous subjects and studies on the subject.
