The Godown Arts Centre brings together the visual and the performing arts for the first time ever in Nairobi and will boast studios for leading visual artists plus a theatre, a puppet workshop and rehearsal space for dancers. Located along Dunga road in Nairobi’s industrial area next to CMC Motors, the Arts Centre is not only ideal but easily accessible by both public transport users as well as private car owners.

Kuona Trusts which is spearheading the visual arts presence at the Godown, has ten studios under construction. About seven of these studios will be leased out to leading Kenyan artists at subsidized rates while the remaining studios will be reserved for visiting artists from around the world who will be attending Kuona Trusts’ artist-in-residency programme which will give the visiting artists a chance to fully explore the Kenyan art scene.
