The Afri Art and Fashion Show is an outstanding event that showcases Uganda's rich and vibrant African art and fashion scene. Widely recognized as the country's premier art and fashion exhibition, it draws both local and international attention.

Beyond being a fashion show, the event encompasses various forms of art, such as crafts, paintings, sculptures, and more. It serves as a platform to celebrate the creativity and talent of African artists and designers, bringing attention to their unique perspectives and cultural influences.

One of the notable features of the Afri Art and Fashion Show is its strong emphasis on sustainability. The project also advocates for responsible and ethical fashion practices, with designers actively supporting and collaborating with women and youth artisans. By empowering these artisans, the show fosters economic growth and preserves cultural heritage.
