Our Story

Creatives Resource Network (CRN) is a dynamic Nigerian arts and cultural organization committed to empowering artists and creative organizations to thrive in today’s competitive and ever-evolving cultural landscape.

Founded with a vision to nurture creativity and foster innovation, CRN has established itself as a trusted partner for creatives, offering essential support services, tools, and opportunities to help them achieve sustainable success.

Founded in 2023, CRN began as a response to a real problem: talented African creatives often lack access to resources, mentorship, and professional guidance. We saw brilliant ideas fade due to lack of structure, funding, or exposure. So we built a solution, a network that provides creative support, project development guidance, grant application assistance, and visibility across borders.

Today, CRN has supported over 20 individual artists and contributed to 50 creative projects, building a growing community of passionate storytellers, Dancers, Filmmakers, Writers, Photographers, Theatre makers and Cultural entrepreneurs across Nigeria and Africa.
