Tuzuule Art Project (TAP) is an art-centered project that works directly with children and early teenagers of different backgrounds in Uganda, with a particular focus on those who are disadvantaged with no education. TAP strives to give them hope and opportunities using art as a valued form of expression.
The Project is centered on the belief that everyone can learn and teach art and has the capacity to be a positive role model to others.
TAP has been built around free art classes currently offered at a Center in Buwama, Kitojo and Zzuula Art Limited.
Aims
- Bridge the gap between the advantaged and disadvantaged children, bringing kids of different religious, tribal, and social backgrounds together
- Build kids’ leadership skills, self esteem, and responsibility
- Allow access to formal and informal art education
- Present a positive approach to art, promoting awareness and teaching its value to children
- Connect local and international youths using art as a valued form of exchange
We feel the values and artistic skills gained by the kids will allow them to start their art business for sustainability and also create a chain of employment opportunities to others, thus touching lives and fighting this area’s high unemployment.
