Foundation for Contemporary Art
The Foundation for Contemporary Art (FCA) is a Ghanaian visual arts foundation that aims to create an active network of artists and provide a critical forum for the development of contemporary art in Ghana. Based on the name idea and respective function suggestion of photographer Eric Don-Arthur to Virginia Ryan in Accra, Ghana - the FCA was founded in 2004 by Professor Joe Nkrumah and Australian/Italian artist Virginia Ryan, along with Eric Don-Arthur and 12 other founding members. The FCA office is located in the W.E.B. DuBois Memorial Centre for Pan-African Culture in the Cantonments neighborhood of Accra.
