In 2006 the Trust launched the Art in the Park project which has been successful to date achieving the following objectives:
- To enhance and contribute to the revival of Nairobi’s Central business district as a venue of arts and entertainment
- To promote talent among Kenyan public both in visual and audio arts
- To provide a venue and opportunities for underprivileged, needy and upcoming artists to showcase and develop their careers through creating awareness.
- To create a learning environment for children to develop their artistic skills based on topics of peace-building.
- To provide a venue for monthly cultural events.
Annually, the Memorial Park hosts a Christmas concert that has become the city’s family event. Please plan to attend it this year. Other “ Art in the park” activities:
- Craft skill workshops – learn how to paint pots, arrange flowers, etc
- Flower and Garden shows
- Craft Fairs
- Kitenge Festival
- Café Mia Moja
- Poetry and Story Telling Night
