The Blue Zebra story began in 2010 when street artist Reagan Balozi opened the doors to his first small store. 

For as long as he could remember, he had envisioned a community art store where his fellow artists could come together and showcase their works. For years he walked the streets of Tanzania for hours on end, selling his paintings and saving his earnings for the future.

Finally he had saved enough to open his very first tiny store, which although filled with love and exceptional art, could only hold about 8 customers at a time. And that was a squeeze! But through hard work and determination, that beautiful store grew into 3 huge impressive stores that present the art of many Tanzanian artists.

Reagan always wanted to be successful, yet he never wanted to be successful alone. He wanted his community to rise up right alongside him and with his compassion, drive and humble nature, through Blue Zebra he has achieved just that.
