Hey you,
A few weeks ago, something unusual happened. I attended an art exhibition!
It was held at Latitude Hotel, right here in Kampala and this is the second edition of this art exhibition.
We (Faces Up Uganda) were among the invited exhibitors.
I did not attend the first edition of the Ebirungi Art Exhibition (as it is named).
I cannot even recall where I was or what I was doing, at that time but I was very glad to be here for this one.
And this time, I got to see for myself first-hand the children that make all this art, I share on social media on the institution’s platforms.
Plus, I had not been to Latitude before! (Oscar kept on saying to me that I will love the ambience here and he was very right!)
Now, do you remember the work we did with FAO Uganda recently for the World Food Day?
It so happens that someone from there was at this same hotel and saw our works on display there and decided to take us on for a project to be implemented throughout the country!
(Luck favours those in the right place and time, correct?)
My ears overheard that over 6,000,000 Uganda shillings was collected in the revenue basket from sales of comics, t-shirts, tote bags, small art paintings and colouring books made during the first edition till now!
How cool is that?
Whoever bought something, I thank you.
The children thank you, too!
Well, here is what the second edition of the Ebirungi Art Exhibition has for you in stock, taken in photos.
We hope to hear from you all.
Thank you again,
NTEMID.
I’ve never done so, but I think attending an art exhibition would be fun! I love the idea of supporting local artists as they work so hard on there stuff; plus it’s the perfect way to find gifts and decor pieces for your house! Thank you for sharing!

There is a lot of good stuff to see in this exhibition! Attending it would be fun!

You’re welcome.
What an awesome exhibit, and for such a great cause, too. I always prefer to support local small businesses and charities whenever we can.

I love art exhibitions, especially when they showcase local artists. These people have some major talent!

This sounds and looks like it was a great event, I always love going to see what is for sale!

For me, it’s great to visit this exhibition like this and to know more about what’s behind the said exhibition! As this will give us deeper roots. Plus every item in the exhibition looks great and mesmerizing! Totally loved it!

That sounds like a fun event. It looks like everyone’s so talented.

That picture of Malcom X is fire. I would love to visit the Ebirungi art exhibition someday.

Cool that the kids do it. I’m glad you enjoyed the ambience. 🙂

My husband and I love frequenting art exhibitions. He finds they help inspire him in his own art. He’s hoping to hold his on gallery next year and start selling from other small businesses!
😍👏🏿
It must have been very interesting to go to the art exhibition. It’s lovely to see the different creations that each artist has made. I hope you bought a souvenir.
😍👏🏿
This sounds like a neat art exhibition. It is nice to see so much talent! Looks like you had a great time.
😍😍 yes, I did!
Art can be very inspirational and I like that this was for a good cause. I appreciate art for many reasons, one of which is the fact that I am not that good at it!
😍😍
What a great cause! And I’m so glad that so much was collected. It really looks like there were some spectacular things to purchase. So great!
😍😍😍
I love art exhibitions no matter what the art is! However, when it’s local talent, it’s really cool.
😍😍
I love art exhibitions! There is nothing better mooching around one, reflecting on the works and being inspired. Even better when it’s a local affair.
😍😍
This art exhibition seems so fantastic!
😍😍😍
I have visited few art exhibitions before and love them. This ones also looks interesting and intriguing.
