The Cross Cultural Collaborative at the ABA HOUSE in Nungua, Ghana is lead by the remarkable artist Ellie Schimelman.
Ellie Schimelman's background is as a potter and an educator. Over 20 years ago she started traveling to Ghana, looking for inspiration as an artist. Enamored by the country, its people and its arts in 1994 she formed Aba Tours and started taking others.
In 2002 Ellie started an educational non-profit called Cross Cultural Collaborative, Inc. to promote cultural exchange and understanding through the arts. People from around the world come to ABA HOUSE, in Nungua, Ghana, to interact with African artists. Artists live and work together in an environment where they can exchange ideas and find universal connections.
The ABA HOUSE leads children in the exploration of their creative self. The children produce beautiful pieces of artwork including blank journal, wall hanging pieces and stationary. Much of the work is made on hand made papers. These works will be on sale at this exhibit and all funds will go to the Cross Cultural Collaborative.
