NAIROBI’S DUSITD2 SET TO STAGE SECOND ART EXHIBITION
(Posted 26th January 2016)
Artists from all over Kenya will this Saturday converge at the dusitD2 Nairobi to exhibit their creations at the Den Conference Room in an event dubbed ‘The dusitD2 Nairobi Art Gallery’.
The dusitD2 Nairobi Art Gallery in a second such exhibition encourages creative freedom and seeks to eliminate the exploitative system that has seen brokers, middlemen and hosts of art exhibition organizers gain more for such events than the artists themselves.
According to Mr. Michael Metaxas, the dusitD2 Nairobi General Manager, the Art Gallery is a great opportunity especially for young artists who want an avenue to sell their art works in a central location full of art lovers. Kenya is full of talented artists who have a lot to showcase as the turnout for this event clearly shows.
In December last year, the first such event showcased works of Kenya’s top artists including Patrick Mukabi and Patrick Kinuthia. It also introduced children to the world of art and painting through tutorials. Amateur artists involved in the exhibition included 9-year-old Rani Shah who sold 4 of her works and Sibuor from Kisumu who sold 3 pieces and received 4 orders for his point-brush.
The Saturday event will mark the second event in this exhibition series and the first this year.

The article which you have published is definitely worth a read, and the points mentioned can be agreed upon. Kenya is definitely the best spot when it comes to availing the best services which a hotel should offer. One should research and know about the best hotel in Kenya and their prices, before making any decision on holiday packages.
