The Kinkeliba Foundation: International Vision Through Art
In 2005, Le Kinkeliba was given a spectacular site of nearly 100 acres by the Senegalese government, lying just 10 miles south of Le Kinkeliba’s original medical center. This site, overlooking the Gambia River, will be the setting of a new  initiative: The Kinkeliba Foundation. The Kinkeliba Foundation will offer visual and performing artists, writers, scholars, and other from all over the world a unique opportunity to converge in an extraordinary setting and work independently and inter-dependently.

During their residencies, these artists will be able to focus with rare concentration on their own creative pursuits. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to interact with each other as well as with the region’s residents, connecting them to the rich fabric of local Senegalese life. Through these vital links, visiting artists will be able to discover and explore the mutual goals and interest of vastly different cultures, achieving international understanding through dedication to artistic excellence and experimentation.
