The (Kenya) National Dress

As many are well aware the Godown had the priviledge of hosting the Search for the National Dress. It is in these environs that a team of Kenyan designers came together, researched and held workshops and presentations.

They finally came up with a number of designs that incorporated all the influences that are with Kenya.

The design is out in the public who are in the process of voting on whether one or all will be adopted to be Kenya'a National Dress.

The Godown Arts Centre is a new facility established to nurture excellence and innovation in Kenyan artists. It provides studios, workspaces, rehearsal rooms and performance areas for performing and visual artists, to meet their need for a space in which to experiment, create and share ideas together.

The Godown also aims to promote the value of artists to society by encouraging the public to attend and support its arts programs and shows. The Centre is funded by the Ford Foundation East Africa.

Some of the work with the artists are shown here. We are in the process of collecting information on th artists we have at the Godown. Please visit the "Artists" at all the different genres of the "Arts" above.
