Inverted Arts offers Art Camps, Scholarships, Small Business Investment opportunities for students at Mathare Community Outreach in Kenya and Mission of Hope for the Disabled in Liberia. This year we are launching two new small businesses led by our scholarship graduates Seth Luchemo (L) and Kevin Obambo (R) in Kenya! Seth is leading Recreation Factory Arts – a music production company and artist training center, and Kevin is leading K. Fraji Productions – a video production company. We are thrilled to invest in these talented young men who are changing their communities through creativity! Check out their introduction videos below!
