Discovered Artistic Talents (DARTS) is an art organization that started in the year 2011 with the leadership of renowned Kenyan artist, Joseph Mbatia (Bertiers).

The main aim of this organization is to fish out untapped talent in the visual arts for social economic development by offering guidance, training, mentoring and a platform for exposure and exchange. It is out of the need to harness artistic potential, especially among the youth, that DARTS was formed.
