This new contemporary arts centre is situated just off the main Nanyuki "Nairobi road route into Samburu National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy (Sweetwaters), Meru National Park and Mount Kenya Safari Club and so makes an ideal stopover on the Kenyan safari trail.
The huge art studio displays affordable contemporary art from East Africa's top contemporary artists, away from the bustle of city life.
You can decide to either soak up the atmosphere of this calm and special african arts place, or meet the "Artists in Residence".

This new art gallery in Nanyuki, hopes to operate as a springboard for young artists to launch their art careers, whilst permitting safari visitors to buy original works of art.
Safari guests can also enjoy a healthy lunch on a deck, overlooking a large lily pond.
With the great Mount Kenya mountain as a background, art visitors can also like watching the white egret, hunting the frogs in the pond!
