The Uganda Online Art Consortium provides a market for young Ugandan artists, raises funds for art therapy programs at hospitals and clinics and holdsd free children's art workshops in neighborhoods and villages. We offer original, contemporary Ugandan artwork for sale on our website including paintings, textiles, sculpture, beadwork, and jewelry. We also hold periodic public exhibitions and sales of work by our member artists.

Uganda Online Art Consortium was started by Tom Herriman and Rees Clark in 2008 after Tom visited Uganda in 2007-08. Artists in the group include James Nsamba, Kizito Fred Kakinda, Hassan Mukiibi, Mathias Tusiime, Kaspa Kasambeko, Charles Mbaziira. Ivan Muganga, Moses Kiganda and Yusuf Ssali.

The artists in Uganda Art Consortium volunteer their time to provide art therapy for HIV-AIDS patients, children orphaned by AIDS, street children, hospital patients and psychiatric patients. When you buy art from ugandart.com, you are directly supporting this work. 50% of the each sale goes to the artist. The other half goes to buy paint, canvas and other art supplies for hospital art therapy sessions and childrens' workshops, and to run our organization and web-site. Administrative and web servicing costs average under fifteen percent of our sales income.

In addition to web-site sales, Uganda Art Consortium holds exhibitions, publishes an annual calendar, and works to introduce contemporary Ugandan art to a broad international audience.

The artist-members of Uganda Art Consortium work in a variety of jobs including teaching, music performance, and commercial art and design.
