“Founded in 2012 by brothers and self-taught painters Emmanuel Nkuranga and Innocent Nkurunziza, Inema Arts Center spurs creativity for personal, social and economic growth. Nkurunziza and Nkuranga started Inema in order:
To tap the untapped potential of art in Rwanda.
To use the creative expression as a way to bring the community and country alive.
To provide exposure to creative people and to create opportunities for Rwanda’s most underserved communities while using creativity for a productive livelihood.
Today, Inema Arts Center has become a beacon in Rwanda for cultivating creative expression. Inema Arts Center is a collective of Rwandan creative artists. At its core, Inema Arts Center provides space for 5 artists in residence to explore their creative talent.” – Inema Art Center

a month agoIt is another one of the art centres in Kigali, focusing on local pieces of art. The place is on two floors and there is a very good collection to enjoy. However, their attitude in running the place should change. There is no entrance fee, but your donation amount is decided for you. It is not nice to tell the visitors that you have to pay $30 to take photos. The amount of donation should be left at the discretion of the visitor.

a month agoWe really enjoyed Inema arts centre. We were able to meet Innocente (Founder and artist) and Kenneth (artist). The works were really beautiful and all quite different. The surroundings are lovely. Definitely a nice place to visit.

in the last weekWorth the time! Very courteous staff. If I lived in Kigali, this is the place I'd definitely work from. It's serene both in an outside. The artwork inside , especially the big canvasses, pulls you inside another plane albeit spiritually. The yard outside is an Eden of it's own, turning trash into treasure. I can see myself doing my wedding reception here. Will definitely be going back before leaving Rwanda, and any other time I'll be in Rwanda. Most importantly though is getting a piece of the art, cz you can't put a price on passion.
