ABOUT TARUWA

TARUWA [hausa for ‘gathering’] is a monthly gathering of art lovers which set off in August 2007.In its 7 years of existence, Taruwa has grown from being just a breeding hub for new talent discovery and a convergence for art lovers to holding at the Bogobiri House every last Tuesday of the month and converging a positive and art endearing audience. The monthly event highlights the need for arts and culture promotion avenues to be created in Nigeria, and its success has birthed a quarterly print version, the TARUWA Magazine, an online ‘Culture Bible’ Taruwamagazine.com, and an annual festival, Taruwa Festival.

In a bid to encourage up and coming talents, Taruwa fuses performances from recognized acts with that of ‘up-comers’, making it a networking platform, as well as one to showcase talent.  Photographers, Producers, journalists, publishers, producers and other special service providers of the Nigerian entertainment industry can be found at TARUWA.
