GoDown Arts Centre

The GoDown Arts Centre is home to Kenyan creativity in arts and
media. Established in 2003, in a space that was formerly a car repair
warehouse, the centre has contributed significantly to the growth,
recognition and visibility of local artist by fostering and facilitating
collaborations and encounters between artists from different
disciplines and different parts of the world.
