About YCAT

Welcome to Yoruba Contemporary Arts Trust (YCAT), a charitable trust dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Yoruba Arts and Culture.

Our mission is to celebrate contemporary Yoruba arts both in Yoruba land and across the African Diaspora.

As Yoruba descendants have spread across the globe since the 1950s, YCAT bridges connections between Yoruba culture at home and throughout the African Diaspora.

Our mission is to celebrate contemporary Yoruba arts while fostering global collaboration among artists.

With over two decades of experience, we understand how to use arts to strengthen cultural practices across borders.

Join us in fostering global connections among artists and the communities they engage with. At YCAT, we take pride in leading the way to spread Yoruba culture while advocating for diversity and cultural awareness. 
Discover the beauty, and explore the vibrant world of Yoruba arts through our educational activities, music, storytelling and visual arts. Embrace diversity, connect, and celebrate the essence of Yoruba culture today.
