Kisumu Arthouse is an initiative aimed at developing, exposing and promoting Local Indigenous art in the region. It’s an initiative that has been brought about after the realization of the hardships that local artists go through.
It’s been hard for up coming artists in Kisumu to earn a living out of their creativity without exhibitions and gallery to attract Art lovers. Getting affordable space at strategic venue in town for the artist has been an upheaval task. A lack of collective union had since led the artist working solely without inspiration from their counterparts. In summary, not much had been done in terms of exploration and use of art, as a form of communication, documentation of process and income generation.
The advent of Kisumu Art House is therefore as a response to the need of talent recognition and exhibition centre within the Kisumu city.Upcoming artist now have a reason to smile following the opening of the Art house to promote local talent.
