Kpoto disclosed that the land, located in Montserrado County, forms part of a broader Mini-City project she is currently developing, signaling what she described as a long-term investment in Liberia’s creative economy. Beyond the land donation, Kpoto revealed plans for the construction of Liberia’s first historic Arts Academy — a state-of-the-art facility expected to feature advanced studios and training spaces. She used the occasion to rally young people in the creative sector to remain resilient, urging them not to abandon their talents despite persistent challenges. “Africa is increasingly coming together to promote the creative sector,” she noted, warning that limited opportunities continue to drive talent loss across the continent. According to Kpoto, the initiatives collectively represent a significant investment in Liberia’s creative economy, with the potential to create jobs, stimulate growth, and position Liberian artists for greater international recognition.
