Founded by Fred Halla The Rafiki Arts Trust was formed 2001 and registered in 2006 due to the lack of an active establishment linking artists in Tanzania. It has now filled this niche, acting as an umbrella association for internal and external links for Tanzanian visual artists. It is so far the only organisation that has managed to conduct international workshops, artist residences, training and exchange programmes.

which is responsible for, among other things, creating a centre of excellence that promotes the creativity and professionalism of Tanzanian visual artists and designers.
