About Us

Artists of Revolution is a film production and creative arts company based in Accra, Ghana, with the aim to produce unparalleled art and entertaining experiences in every single service we offer. Stemming from the passion of the founder, Artists of Revolution was established to help bridge the gap between art and business, where the artist gets to practice his/her craft while enjoying the full gamut of benefits required to sustain the arts.

Prior to being incorporated, we have been involved in the production of commercials, documentaries, music videos, TV productions and two feature films. We have also organized multiple art exhibitions involving numerous artists. Artists of Revolution has embarked on outdoor film exhibitions outside the regular indoor cinematic releases. We are registered with the Registrar's General Department of Ghana.

Art & Creative Services

Artists of Revolution believes in ART having the power to bring joy and fulfilment in the lives of people. But most importantly, we know it has the power to change the world. That is why representing artists and promoting their arts are important to us in order to help reach those goals they have set for themselves.

One of such initiatives is EXPRESSIONS, an art content soon to air on various platforms. Expressions chronicles the profiles and works of artists, affording the world to know about their brilliance, talent and creativity.

Additionally, EXPRESSIONS VIRTUAL is an art e-commerce site that provides artists of African descent, a digital platform to showcase their artworks to the world, thereby bridging the gap between them and patrons. Expressions Virtual is unique as it provides artists with the leverage they need on the global stage regardless of their art.

Coming Soon: Expressions

Expressions is an art content to promote creatives of African descent and their art to help them reach their goals. Goals of getting the needed publicity and patrons who will buy their works providing them with the impetus to continue with their art.

Events & Screenings

Artists of Revolution events bring the best we have to offer to audiences be it in the screening of our films or that of an art showcase or performance. Events for us are experiences that should be relished and cherished for a lifetime.
