The Susanne Wenger Adùnní Olórìṣà Trust is currently exhibiting artworks at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos. They are photos, drawings, paintings, and other art works done by Òsogbo and Òsogbo-influenced artists and about the sacred Òsun Òsogbo Grove where Susanne Wenger lived for a number of decades, and died.
