        Summary
        This study explored the perspectives of 12 young artists (aged 23-29) from the Uweza Art Gallery to understand the contribution of art programs on positive youth development in underprivileged contexts like Kibera. Through semi-structured interviews, key themes linked to the external assets of the developmental assets framework emerged: support, empowerment, boundaries and expectations, and constructive use of time. Results indicated that Uweza Art Gallery fosters development by providing acceptance, community engagement, reasonable regulations, mentorship, financial support, and growth opportunities. These findings highlight the potential of implementing the developmental assets framework in art programs to support positive youth development.
