For the first time in about two decade, the first postwar performing arts school has been open in the country. The school comes at a time when most talented Liberian filmmakers and musicians are eager to acquire knowledge about their act in order for them to produce works that will be easily accepted. Opened by Van Vicker and his manager, Dr. Claric Ford-Kulah, which will be fully operational in January, the school will focus on educating artists with practical hands on experience in fine and performing arts. Van Vicker said his desire to introduce such a school to Liberian youth is to give back to the country, and bring to life the passion of people that are interested in the arts industry. “The school is dedicated to providing an outlet for inspiring Liberian musicians and filmmakers and an opportunity to learn skills about their art.
