In a spirited show of loyalty and commitment to arts and culture, popular political activist and philanthropist, Appiah Stadium, has donated GH₵1,000 to Kumasi Anglican Senior High School (Super Kass) to support a student-led artistic project celebrating President John Dramani Mahama.
The donation is aimed at facilitating the painting of a street art portrait of the President, as part of activities lined up for AshantiFest 2026.
The initiative forms a key component of efforts to promote the festival while providing a creative platform for students to showcase their talents.
Presenting the cash support, Appiah Stadium described the gesture as a personal contribution to both the promotion of the arts and the celebration of a leader he deeply admires.
Known for his unwavering support for President John Mahama, he emphasized that the donation reflects his appreciation for the President’s leadership and his desire to see his legacy captured through youthful creativity.
“This is not just about art; it is about telling our story and honoring leadership through the talents of young people,” he remarked. “I am proud to support these students as they use their skills to contribute to the success of AshantiFest.”
Students and staff of Kumasi Anglican Senior High School expressed profound gratitude for the timely intervention, noting that the funds will motivate them and executing the project to a high standard.
The initiative, they said, will not only beautify the streets but also inspire other students to embrace artistic expression.
The street art project is expected to draw significant public attention during AshantiFest, an annual celebration that highlights the rich cultural heritage, creativity, and tourism potential of the Ashanti Region.
This year’s festival has placed a strong emphasis on youth involvement and community-driven artistic displays.
Educationists have lauded the collaboration, describing it as a perfect blend of culture, education, and civic engagement.
They believe such initiatives help nurture creativity among students while instilling a sense of national pride and historical appreciation.
As preparations for AshantiFest 2026 gather momentum, the gesture by Appiah Stadium stands as a testament to the growing role of individual contributions in promoting arts and culture in Ghana.
The anticipated portrait of John Mahama is expected to become one of the standout attractions of the festival, symbolizing the intersection of politics, art, and youth empowerment.
With brushes poised and creativity ignited, students of Super Kass are ready to transform walls into canvases bringing to life a striking image of leadership that will resonate with festival-goers and the wider public alike.
