There are many people who appreciate and collect African artwork. Additionally, there are African-American artists who need a place to showcase their talents. For this reason, NTU (en'-too) was formed in 1979 to promote an understanding and appreciation of African art, traditions, and culture. This art organization adopted its name from a Bantu word, NTU, which means "being" or "essence."
This non-profit organization provides exhibits, workshops and other programs that promote public interest in African and African-American art to people of all ages and backgrounds.
