Abstract
It is the opinion of the study that Africa, indeed Nigeria, appears retrogressive, primitive, insensitive and totally blind to the environmental and global changes in relation to technology, humans and capacity building to the extent that value systems, human lives, creativity and entrepreneurship are all facing extinction, thereby paving the way for banditry and terrorism and other forms of absurdity. The study observes that entrepreneurship is the creation of economic value by putting the right variables into effective action. Entrepreneurship appears to be a major driver of economic growth, innovation, creativity, job provision and development of methods and products through creativity and strategic and critical thinking. These, however, promote and stimulate human and economic growth and development of the society. The study tries to situate visual art as a metaphor that inspires creativity and provides empirical evidence through which entrepreneurship opportunities could be sustainably anchored for the growth and development of humanity. Primary and secondary sources of data collation will be useful, including unstructured interviews. Some of the findings include creative art and design enterprises could facilitate entrepreneurship opportunities and proffer solutions to some of the challenges. Again, creative art and design, which include architecture, graphics, sculpture, painting, textiles, and photography, are significant routes to innovative technology and entrepreneurship. These, however, took the study to its conclusion and possible recommendations.
