Welcome to Osun Arts Foundation Incorporation : African dance, drama, music, visual arts & storytelling in United States

Music and dance forms are at the centre of African arts and culture. As a learning method for children - teaching them a selection of songs and dances in the orginal languages - this is the most effective and exciting part of the project. Here the participatory nature of our work is stressed.

Pupils learn to play a range of musical instruments - from the famous Talking Drums to the African Xylophone. Dances and songs are then taught to the accompaniment of the strong rhythms of this music, with the drummers and dancers communicating between each other through the drumming and dancing steps.

We always aim for full participation in all our plans and services. Our plans include:

Exhibitions and festivals of works of all kinds by Artists from Africa and others.

Training projects in unique Afrcan art: Designs & symbols for textiles in batik or wax printing, traditional mat weaving, Adinkra & Kente waeving.

Workshops in African visual and performing arts, dances and drumming ( especially traditional talking drumming).

Participatory multi-cultural arts projects for ages 6-14 in schools and community centres.

Promoting access to such events to provide equality of opportunity, and help prevent discrimination of any kind.

Proper documentation of works of African Artists collected throughout the world.

You can book Osun Arts for special occasions such as children parties and other celebrations. You can choose from a variety of activities inlcuding smaller performances and interactive presentation (storytelling, dance and music)
