ABOUT

THE FOUNDATION

The STELLA DAMASUS ARTS FOUNDATION was founded in 2010 by Award-winning Actor Stella Damasus. It was created in order to fund, encourage, build and support art development, quality of life of artists, promote economic growth and development using art tools.

In 2011 SDAF started operating in Lagos Nigeria, as an Art Academy with two major classes to train people in acting and singing for FREE. The aim is to give adequate training to talented individuals, who cannot afford to get formal education or training in the arts.

However, since its inception, the vision of the foundation has expanded beyond the support and development of the arts. It now includes helping women and young girls, supporting education, health, and basic human rights.
