Healing Art – Featuring International Artist Emmanuel Nkuranga
Healing Art – Featuring the Art of Internationally Renowned Artist Emmanuel Nkuranga. Join us for an evening of innovative multi media paintings, and other art, and meet the artist Emmanuel Nkuranga.
Emmanuel Nkuranga is a self-taught painter and mixed-media expressionist and one of the founders of Inema Art Center in Kigali, Rwanda. Internationally recognized, Nkuranga’s work defines contemporary African art with pieces that immerge from experimentation with a range of unexpected material.
Nkuranga co-founded the Inema Art Center with his brother and fellow painter, Innocent Nkurunziza. In 2010, Nkuranga founded Art with a Mission, which unlocks orphans hidden artistic talent. Pieces are sold proceeds supporting orphans livelihood and school fees. Dedicated to cultivating the talent around him, Nkuranga actively creates opportunities to expand creativity in his community and the world at large.
A portion of the proceeds from art sales will go to benefit Healing Hearts Northwest, a nonprofit medical mission performing open heart surgery in Kigali, Rwanda. HHNW consists of volunteers from Seattle, Spokane, and Coeur d’Alene traveling to work in Kigali on their own time and resources. To date, HHNW has performed over 80 life saving surgeries.
