  Description

  My name is Alphonse, but people know me as Kalpho. I’m a visual artist and art teacher, and I started an art center because I wanted to create a place where artists can meet, create, learn and share their work.
  
  We work with emerging artists, organize exhibitions and creative activities, and give artists a space to show their work and connect with people. We also have free art activities for children from low-income families.
  
  I’m interested in meeting people from different countries who love art, culture and creativity. I would like people who stay with us to experience Rwanda, learn about our culture and art, meet local artists, and also share something from their own culture and experience.
  
  We are based in Kacyiru, Kigali, near the American Embassy. There are many places around Kigali to explore, and we would be happy to help you discover the city and experience Rwanda.
  
  For me, this is about meeting people, sharing ideas and connecting through art and culture. Welcome to Rwanda!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I would like people who stay with us to experience Rwanda beyond just being a tourist. We can share our art, Rwandan culture, stories and everyday life with them. They can visit the gallery, meet local artists, learn about Rwandan art and join some of our creative activities.
  
  We can also learn from them. I’m interested in hearing about their countries, cultures, art and experiences. If they have creative skills, they can share them with us too.
  
  Sometimes we can explore Kigali together, visit local places, try Rwandan food and simply spend time talking and getting to know each other. For me, the important thing is to share, learn and make real connections.
