About The Initiative
Art for Hope Biennial is a cultural and social impact project that empowers underserved youths through art, mentorship, and creative expression.
Every two years, we create opportunities for young people to access art classes, cultural spaces, and mentorship from artists and curators. Each edition culminates in a public exhibition on Children’s Day (May 27), where participants present their artworks and stories to the world.
This year, the Art for Hope Biennial brings 30 learners and 10 professional artists together through workshops, mentorship, and public exhibitions celebrating youth imagination.
OUR MISSION
To provide underserved youths with artistic mentorship, cultural access, and public platforms for expression.
OUR VISION
To preserve African imagination across time by empowering the next generation through art.
