Our New Art Centre

Since 2011, we’ve expanded possibilities for art making in Uganda through our residencies, resource centre and public programming. In 2021, we broke ground on phase 1 of the very first purpose-built contemporary art centre in Kampala, Uganda. In March 2023 we officially opened the doors to phase 1. What's next? Phase 2!

Writing Toolkit

This toolkit was built to provide artists with a variety of resources to improve their writing skills and effectively write about what they do and why they do it. It includes tips and examples of artist statements, manifestos, proposals and portfolios from our community, videos from the art writers workshop and a special podcast series by Corpus, in Nairobi. A useful guide to artists everywhere who describe their work through words.
