Our Story

Nchedo Arts Foundation is a nonprofit art organisation rooted in the Igbo word for shelter and protection.

We provide critical support to emerging artists through residencies, mentorship, and public programs designed to help them expand and sustain their artistic practice.

Founded by contemporary Nigerian artist Chidinma Nnoli, Nchedo bridges the often isolating gap between formal art education and professional practice, offering a community and artist centred environment grounded in radical care, respect and creative agency.
