Creative Business Studio is Unpublished Africa’s flagship six-week virtual program that empowers creatives to embrace entrepreneurship. Through mentorship, practical exercises, and peer learning, participants gain the tools to turn their creative practice into sustainable businesses.

The program has helped many monetize their craft and build viable careers. Each cohort culminates in a themed volume of Africa Published, showcasing participants’ growth and work, while also fostering an ongoing network of collaboration and mentorship within Africa’s creative community.

"Africa Published Volume 4" is available here: https://www.unpublished.africa/creative-business-studio-4

Conversations around art education in Africa often centre on tertiary institutions, yet many of the challenges begin much earlier, at the point of exposure, access, and how creative practice is first introduced.

In Navigating the Path: Art Education in Africa, we reflect on how artists are often lost at the beginning of their journey due to limited access, cultural perceptions, and weak support systems, with these gaps continuing into post-secondary levels where sustained practice becomes difficult.
