Bayimba Cultural Foundation organizes a range of events with a view to uplift arts and culture, especially visual and performing arts, in Uganda and East Africa.
In 2010, it introduced a series of one-day Bayimba Regional Festivals of the Arts that are organized annually in towns across Uganda. They provide a platform for artistic talents from the regions in Uganda while aiming at enhancing access to artistic and cultural expressions countrywide, thereby supporting the development of the local arts scene.
These exciting multidisciplinary Bayimba Regional Festivals have already been experienced in a number of towns around the country including Gulu, and Jinja. The next stop will be Fort Portal on 7th June and later on Mbale on 5th July. These will finally culminate in the Bayimba international Festival Of The Arts to be held at the National Theatre on the 19th-21st September, 2014.
