Founded in 2011, 32° East is an independent non-profit organisation and home for the visual arts community in Uganda.

The multi-purpose resource centre based in the capital includes studios, accommodation for artists in residence, a contemporary art library, computers and editing suites, meeting areas and outdoor workshop space. The programme offers artists in residence and members one-on-one drop-in sessions for critique and professional development, workshops for practical skills and their regular discussion series – Artachat – for social engagement.
