Terra Kulture Arts and Studios is an educational and recreational organisation set up in 2003 to promote the richness and diversity of Nigerian languages, arts and culture. Mrs Bolanle Austen-Peters has an abiding passion and respect for all cultures and observed that there were few institutions effectively supporting Nigerian culture. There were, and remain, few places in Nigeria with the appropriate ambience for Nigerians and foreigners to learn about Nigeria’s cultural and linguistic heritage.
In its 18 years of existence Terra Kulture has organised over 200 art exhibitions, 135 plays, 65 book readings and over 10,000 individual adults and children, as well as school trips, have attended our language classes. In 2009 Terra Kulture established the Terra Kulture Auction house, one of only two art auction houses in Nigeria. The Auction House has organised numerous art auctions in Lagos and Abuja.
The rest of the centre is comprised of the Nigerian language and craft school, reading and documentation centre, food lounge, the Terra art gallery and the Terra Arena, a multipurpose theatre.
