Terra Kulture Arts and Studios is an educational and recreational organization set up in 2003 to promote the richness and diversity of Nigerian languages, arts and culture. Mrs Bolanle Austen-Peters has an abiding passion and respect for all cultures and observed that there were few institutions effectively supporting Nigerian culture. There were, and remain, few places in Nigeria with the appropriate ambience for Nigerians and foreigners to learn about Nigeria’s cultural and linguistic heritage. In its 11 years of existence Terra Kulture has organized over 200 art exhibitions, 135 plays, 65 book readings and over 10000 individual adults and children, as well as school trips, have attended our language classes. In 2009 Terra Kulture established the Terra Kulture Auction house, one of only 2 art auction houses in Nigeria. The Auction House has organized numerous art auctions in Lagos and Abuja. The rest of the Centre is comprised of the Nigerian language and craft school, reading and documentation centre, food lounge, the Terra art gallery and the Terra Arena a multipurpose Theatre.

The idea for the establishment of Terra Kulture came from the need to have a cultural hub in the protection of Nigerian culture as obtains in other, mostly Western, countries. Today Terra Kulture, a private sector initiative is already a resounding success and recognized as a major cultural hub in Lagos, Nigeria. In recognition of its importance, Terra has attracted visits from internationally recognized personalities such as Roberto Cavalli, Forest Whitaker, Ben Stiller, Anthony Joshua, Richard Quest, Rio Ferdinand, John Gboyega, Wole Soyinka and many diplomats and highly placed local and foreign Government functionaries. It has hosted many repeat visits from local and international students, including from Harvard, MIT, Chinese University of Hong Kong and many others.
