Young Burundian entrepreneur and art lover with the conviction that art can be a catalyst for social cohesion, Samantha Inarukundo is the initiator of TwoFiveSeven Arts; an art enterprise that opened the first-ever permanent art gallery in Burundi.

Samantha launched TwoFiveSeven Arts with the mission to represent artists evolving in Burundi by assisting them in the production, showcasing and commercialisation of their artistic works and careers while also providing community outreach through its various artistic programs, events and artistic activities.

We curate the works of art that we offer collectors based, not merely on the quality of the art but also on the personal stories of the artists. At TwoFiveSeven Arts, we believe, in fact, that art becomes more relevant when we are able to understand the story behind the artist and their work.

Today, TwoFiveSeven Arts represents many of Burundi’s most respected visual artists and emerging talents and focuses on the contemporary art of Burundian and foreign artists evolving in Burundi.

The main ambition of TwoFiveSeven Arts is to revive the Burundian art scene by creating new opportunities for artists and by providing significant support to their creative process.
TwoFiveSeven Arts’ primary purpose is to lead the cutting edge art sector by providing Burundian artists with the professional representation they deserve, obtaining opportunities they lack and facilitating social appreciation and respect for the arts as a legitimate profession.

Additionally, as art facilitates the learning of transferable skills, ignites self-expression and enables creative thinking; we cultivate specific art programs which address social issues.

We place emphasis on Art for Education to reduce inequalities, Art for Purpose for people with special mental health needs, Art for Rent for people to easily engage with the works of art, Art for Teams for team-building while bonding among co-workers and Art for Pros for artists to sharpen their skills.
