Kuona Artists collective, Centre for the Visual Arts

One of my favourite places to discover local painters and sculptors and to pick up handcrafted artwork to take home. They help young, unemployed Nairobians break into the arts, so it’s money well spent. The centre is located in a garden, and the artists all have their own shipping containers to work from. If you visit on a weekday, you’ll have the best chance of seeing the artists while they work and can speak to them about the inspiration behind their crafts.
