We will make an ongoing effort to provide people with links and
information about other sites and online resources relating to African
Art and culture, and will organize those links by category in an
effort to make searching easier.
Check out some of the other online projects by
members of the Rakumi Arts Staff:
Nigeria-arts.net
A project of Rakumi Arts International, Nigeria-arts.net
works with Nigerian artists to provide the tools, training, and
the vehicle to begin to harness the power of the Internet. Nigerian
artists can exhibit and promote their work to both local and international
consumers, broadening their audiences, defining new markets for
their creative products, and networking globally through Internet
and email access
Graviton
Founded by Rakumi's Executive Director, Andy Frankel,
Graviton promotes African arts through direct representation of
artist and general advocacy on a wide variety of arts related issues
in Africa and around the world. Graviton has three primary divisions:
The African Arts Network is envolved in artist management
and representation. InterAfrican Publishing is concerned
with Intellectual Property management, and Indigedisc Records
is engaged in record sales and distribution.
