Abulente is an art and cultural centre located across Aafin ilu cultural centre in Ede. We also have our centres in Lagos, United Kingdom and the United state of America. It was founded in 2002 by Mr Abodunrin Ayandiji as a photography studio and has steadily evolved into a dynamic cultural centre with a gallery. Guided by a strong commitment to creativity, culture, and community, Abulente provides a platform for artistic expression, cultural exchange, and creative engagement. The centre regularly hosts art exhibitions, artistic trainings, and cultural programmes that are community-focused, serving as a meeting point for artists, creatives, and the wider public while contributing to the preservation and promotion of art and culture in Ede and beyond.
