The countdown is on as Olivia Lawson, founder of Holiveah Artistry prepares to take up a ground-breaking Paint-A-Thon, that would catapult her into the Guinness World Records hall of fame.

According to a statement by the Project Lead of the Holiveah Artistry Paint-A-Thon, Deborah Chapp-Jumbo, the 7-day non-stop painting marathon will hold from Monday to Sunday, July 21 to 27, 2025, at the Bonny Consulate Building, Bonny, Rivers State.

“This historic event is a bold attempt to break a Guinness World Record, by showcasing resilience, artistic brilliance, and the power of creativity, particularly the legacies of the Ibani people, and Ijaws in general.”

“The Paint-A-Thon is more than a personal challenge, for her it’s a celebration of art, culture, and community, aimed at putting Bonny Island and Nigerian artistry on the global stage.”  

She appealed to the good people of Bonny and Rivers State to come through for the Art prodigy, who she said believes “this is a win-win for all, a time to tell the world that there is more to Bonny beyond the oil”.

According to GWR, the longest painting marathon is 100 hours and was achieved by a Nigerian, Chancellor Ahaghotu in Atlanta, Georgia, USA from 26th – 30th October 2023.
