    Such a hidden gem in the community. The artists are so talented and extremely welcoming. I met Phillipe and Emmanuel today and they were wise and so super chilled. We chatted for like 30-ish minutes. They were awesome. I’m definitely not an art buff. I was hoping I would get to see more sculptural work, maybe even beadwork, I could have been into that. However, there is one artist’s work I was taken by. I didn’t get his name but his work had this absolutely drawing feel to it. He wasn’t there to explain but his work was rooted in the movement of people. I really enjoyed seeing his work. I just wish he was there so he could teach me what inspired him. The place otherwise is very friendly.

    This is a lively active art gallery, with a range of arts and crafts for sale. You can also stay here (they're on Airbnb), and can spend a day painting with one of the artists - which makes for a truly unique souvenir. Highly recommend a visit and a stay.

    We enjoyed our time at beautiful Ivuka Arts. It's actually advertised as NP Arts Center. Although it is quite small, it features many artists with a description of each. The artwork is really beautiful. The outside is also so bright and inviting. Although we didn't purchase anything we would definitely recommend stopping by.

    Its name has changed into 'Ivuka Arts Studios'. A small house turned into a gallery/painting studio. You can see some collection of interesting paintings. And you can also see some artists working in the backyard studio.

    I stayed here through Charles' Air BnB. The artists are constantly coming by and do an amazing job with their work. Usually they have art classes for local young children on Sundays. Staying here and learning about the art truly shaped my experience in Kigali.
