“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 week agoI visited Inema Art Center recently, and it was an amazing experience! The space is filled with vibrant, thought-provoking artwork that beautifully reflects Rwanda’s culture. The local artists’ talent really shines here, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Definitely a must see in Kigali!

8 months agoInteresting art pieces made by the Rwandan youth. The 5 stars 🌟 are also definitely for the burundian guy who welcomes visitors. He was very polite and friendly, gave a nice introduction to the exhibits, and reminded people that the big dog at the entrance was friendly Also, they sell art tools.
