Her excellency the Dutch ambassador also visited the gallery and was awed through the time that she was here… maybe not because of all the much that was there, but of the effort that was put on the work!

The C.E.O of celtel ‘technically’ paid a courtesy call and had a difficult time leaving…honestly!! Must be something to do with the ambience..!
Important personalities from DOEN-stichting did not also regret their trip…
The manager of the Kenya cultural center finds it the best place to hang out!!

Potential gallery in the KCC

The Kenya Cultural Centre (KCC), Kenya Performing Arts Group (KPAG) and Ghetto Potential (GP) have joined forces to start off the Potential Gallery, aiming at exposing grassroots arts from less developed communities.
The gallery can be visited at the Kenya Cultural Centre, Harry Thuku Road, Nairobi.
Currently the works exhibited here are a collection from the kenya performing arts group photo archives.they are pieces from all around the world and they relay messages in a different way other than their original form of performed art.
there are also a varity of impressive art work done by kids from kariobangi, during the ‘jiamini’ social event.these works contain strong messages that can be interpreted differently from one person to another…
It is however impressive how much creativity was realized,invested and nutured on this day!!
It is a good idea to nurture these talents at infancy…These kids are extremely talented,imaginative……well say (see) it for yourself!!!

NOTE:The gallery is open to all artistes and/or photographers and is open all week!
