You’ve got the talent, the spark and the ideas, but you’re still not making money from your art? Combining artistic skill and a sense of enterprise is not an easy feat. But imagine you could apply the same creativity you use in your art to the development of your business. Imagine you could shape a business plan that’s as well-composed as your latest song.

Our Creative Entrepreneurs Programme has been designed to support the most promising young talents in developing their original business ideas.

			We are in the process of developing a platform for performers to showcase their talent and present their work to other creative minds, fans and business representatives.
			We can provide professional expertise from the UK, Senegal and across Africa to help you shape your business idea.
			We can provide you with the rigorous structure you’ll need to succeed.

This is an inclusive programme. Whether you are a singer, fashion designer, manager, producer, festival organiser or any other arts practitioner – as long as you have the ideas, we can help you to make them work.

In 2008, rap artist Keyti participated in the first artistic exchange programme (Bring the Noise), and had the chance of developing a live-show inspired by hip hop, traditional music, jazz and other styles. Produced by broken-beat talent IG Culture (London), this project united over 10 musicians of all ages and styles on stage, and young VJs trained during the programme provided stunning live visuals.
