Nubuke Foundation: Championing Ghanaian Contemporary Art

At Nubuke our doors are open to everyone. Visitors can expect to be mesmerised by young actors performing on our lawns or poets enchanting audiences.

The Foundation houses a bespoke multi-faceted art gallery, commercial art and gift shop, a co-working space, an artist residency, a studio space, and a library.

'The Foundation is concerned by the erosion of Ghanaian culture and I believe it’s necessary to protect the very essence of what makes us Ghanaian – something which will always set us apart.'
- Odile Tevie, Director of Nubuke Foundation

Exhibitions
Shining light on contemporary artists, four exhibitions are organised each year. Here the drawings of Musah Yussif are shown. The paintings were part of a group exhibition shining light on five artists' trajectory beginnings and confrontation with modernism.

A recent highlight was the retrospective exhibition devoted to pioneering photographer James Barnor. Born in Accra in 1929, Barnor’s career covers a remarkable period in history, bridging continents, and photographic genres to create a transatlantic narrative marked by his passionate interest in people and cultures.

Supporting emerging artists
The 'Young Ghanaian Artist Programme' supports emerging artists through a series of activities. Artists that we have previously worked with include Eric Gyamfi and Gideon Appah.

Events program
Throughout the year, we organise art exhibitions, book readings, art talks, film screenings, performances, seminars, and workshops.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Nubuke Foundation.
