Calling All Artists: Welcome to The Wild Ones – A Creative Ecosystem Where Art Meets Opportunity
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
— Pablo Picasso
We’ve officially opened our doors!
The Wild Ones (formerly Wild Coffee Bar on Google Maps) launched on Easter Sunday, and we’re thrilled to carry forward its creative legacy—while turning up the volume.
We’re building something bold and new:
A creative ecosystem in the heart of industrial Kampala—where artists and creators can thrive, and revellers can party too.
A bar, nightclub, and creative studio – somewhere between a playground and a platform, where talent can grow and vibes can flow.
📸 Follow us on Instagram to stay in the loop.
An Open Call to ALL Artists
Whether you’re a professional, an emerging talent, or a passionate hobbyist—you’re welcome here.
We’re launching our Residency and Membership programmes this week.
Come meet us and get involved—especially on Sundays, which are now dedicated to art and creativity.
🍕 Free slice of pizza with any drink from 12pm to 4pm
🎨 Paint, create, vibe, and meet fellow artists & art lovers
It’s both a public event and an open day for artists:
See the studios, share your passions, and help us shape the brand-new Wild Ones Artist Collective.
What We’re Building for Artists
“Creativity takes courage.”
— Henri Matisse
We’re creating a space where artists have the tools, support, and freedom to bring bold ideas to life.
Here’s what we’re rolling out:
- 2-Week Artist Residencies Free studio space and a chance to showcase your work in our bar or event space.
- Artist Memberships (Coming Soon) Regular studio access, community events, and opportunities to co-curate exhibitions and performances.
- Affordable Lunch (3k meals) Creativity needs fuel. We’re keeping you nourished so you can stay focused.
- SafeBoda Discounts (TBC)
We’re working to secure discounted rides for our creative community. - On-Site Materials We’ll provide some basic materials—tell us what you need!
- Micro-Grants & Support We’re seeking funding to expand the programmes, and will also offer small support packages for selected artists.
Join The Wild Ones Artist Collective
We’re looking for founding members to co-create this journey with us.
You’ll help shape how the studios work, what we prioritise, and how we grow. This is your chance to be part of something from day one.
