THE ART ROOM - Fine Arts Centre for East Africa

Since the 1930s, Uganda's Makerere School of Fine Art has earned a reputation as a major force in the development of contemporary art in East Africa. More recently, in San Francisco, Ugandan artists have united to spearhead recognition for their country's great art in North America. This historic exhibition represents the first grouping of these seven Ugandan artists, ushering a new era for Uganda's International Art Renaissance. Featured artists: James Kitamirike, David Kibuuka, Dan Sekanwagi, Fred Makubuya, Augustine Mugalula Mukiibi, Derrick Kaggwa, and Bruno Sserunkuuma.
