ABOUT US

We are elevating crafts
and culture in East Africa.

We work to eliminate the barriers in arts education, market appreciation, access to professional development resources among others to build strong creative communities in the region. We acknowledge the barriers of arts education, access to arts funding, limited professional development resources among others and work to eliminate them within creative communities in East Africa.

We champion for the growth and development of craft makers through Sekoya Magazine and provide anchors for other emerging artists through workshops, peer mentorship and access to entrepreneurship resources.
