New Atelier, new luck

Dear Follower, dear friends,
to improve our working circumstances we moved to another, new and bigger Atelier. We collaborate with KUNDA ART to organise exhibitions, animate poor children in one of our projects to use their creativity in fields of music (temporal and traditional dancing) and art (paintings and sculptures). We are lucky to tell you, that we managed to stay in Kacyiru. One finds our atelier in the street behind the Egyptian and Burundian Embassy. It is the blue door on the right hand side. Feel free to come, visit and see our pictures, sculptures and hand-made furnitures. UBUMWE ART (together art)
