Kizito Maria Kasule is a Ugandan artist and entrepreneur linked to Makerere University in Kampala, where he has taught since 1992. The reference text gives his birth year as 1967, while the record lists 1973. He is best known for his painting and for founding an art school in his country.
His work has been shown across East Africa, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Australia, France, Denmark and Norway. His first solo exhibition, in 1994, received positive reviews, and later solo shows took place in Kampala, Nairobi, Windhoek and New York.

In 2006 he opened the Nagenda International Academy of Art and Design (NIAAD), a higher education school in art. In 2009, working with the Israeli non-profit Brit Olam, he launched the Muse Uganda project, which houses disadvantaged young people and lets them join the academy as students at a subsidised price. He is currently Dean of Fine Arts at the Margaret Trowell School of Art and Design at the university.
