Kisa Foundation has created an Advisory Board of distinguished artists and art activists to help ensure the future of the organization by helping Ugandan artists to find sales and exhibition opportunities in the U.S. and to support and expand Namungoona Children’s Art Center. John Toki, ceramic sculptor, author and educator is Chair of the advisory group. Other members include Prof. Phil Kwesiga, Chair of the Makerere University School of Industrial and Fine Arts; Kent Tool, educator and ceramic artist; Pam Stefl Toki, artist and educator; and Ted Urban, architect and art activist from Orinda CA. The Advisory Board will develop plans and ideas for improving the curriculum and facilities at Namungoona Children’s Art Center including setting up a ceramics studio as part of the regular program. Toki said “We want to support KFUSA with expertise and financial help to build a ceramics studio in Namungoona to let Ugandan kids find the joys of working in clay.”
Kisa Foundation USA is the principal sponsor of Namungoona Children’s Art Center, and we’re the main sales outlet in the U.S. for the artists of Uganda Art Consortium. Five Uganda artists are members of the Consortium including Yusuf Ssali, Mathias Tusiime, Kaspa Kasambeko, James Nsamba and Carol Nakazito.
