Opening its doors in 2006, the Nairobi Art Centre has grown and flourished and today is a unique and creative centre with great facilities to offer.
The Centre has an open studio format. Paint supplies and tools are provided, inviting each child to select whatever they wish. Children in our sessions engage in the process of problem solving, decision making, and creative ingenuity and ultimately art making.
The Nairobi Art Centre caters for all ages from 4 years onwards in our multi faced programmes. There are two studios; with each catering for around 25 children.
