About us

Who We Are?

Osun Arts Foundation aims are to increase awareness of African arts and culture,
to further the idea of the UK as a vibrant multi-cultural society, and to provide training and educational opportunities – for children and young people, elders, BME and disabled groups and individuals, long-term unemployed, asylum seekers and refugees – using arts and cultural activities, performances, workshops, exhibitions and publications as vehicles for delivery

Our Foundation

Osun Arts Foundation was founded in 1992 and became a registered charity in 1994 (Charity registered in the UK No:1039875). Osun, therefore, is a non-profit making organisation.

Cultural Education

Cultural education gives children and young people the opportunity to develop their creativity, both individually and collectively.

Artsmark

Artsmark is the creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England providing a clear framework for teachers to plan, develop and evaluate arts, culture and creativity across the curriculum and beyond. We can boldly confirm that Osun Arts Foundation is an Artsmark partner.

Experience

Our work is great to enable every child and young person to have the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts.

Our Workshop

We have series of workshops for schools, covering music, dance and visual arts that can help schools to join and register for Artmark through us.

Learn More

It’s vital that children have the opportunity to learn and enjoy arts and culture from an early age. It develops their creativity, inspires future careers and enriches their childhood.
Therefore invite us to come to your school.

Our Works! What We Do!

We organise participatory combined arts workshops, in schools, colleges, community and arts centres. These provide a broad range of art-based mediums practised by experienced workshops facilitators.

Osun Arts

At Osun, we believe in participation not perfection; the idea that anyone of any age or ability can join in with our programmes and enjoy what we do without awkwardness.
