Yebo Art Gallery was established in 2010 by Aleta, Pete and Dane Armstrong and we are passionate about promoting the arts and enabling the growth of the creative economy by working together with the most talented professional and emerging artists in Eswatini. Yebo has curated over 65 exhibitions to date, working with over 100 artists from Eswatini and the rest of the African continent. We also collaborate with partners on community art projects and creative skills training workshops. Our vision for the next five years is to continue growing the creative sector of Eswatini whilst focusing on environmental and social issues - using art as a tool to address issues like climate change, women's rights, skills training for the youth and creative freedom of expression.

We have engaged with positive change through our community arts NGO ArtReach.
