About African Culture Fund Academy Bootcamp 4 Program

Increasingly, the issue of creating, producing, and disseminating contemporary artworks in Africa is being raised and debated within African and international institutions. It is now established that there are talents and high-quality creators in Africa.

However, it is also recognized that most young artists increasingly express the need for support in the process of nurturing their creativity and professional development, to facilitate their access to local and international markets.
