Network
01
One institution, many homes.
Each franchise is locally led and globally connected — sharing standards, programmes and infrastructure with the rest of the FAACCE network.
The FAACCE Ecosystem · Initiative
FAACCE Studio Franchise
A continental network of creative homes.
Introduction
A federated network of FAACCE-branded studios in capital cities and emerging creative hubs — providing space, equipment, mentorship and routes to the global stage.
Our Mission
To put a fully equipped, dignified, professional creative home within reach of every serious African creator — and to make those homes part of one connected, international institution.
Objectives
Four pillars of the programme.
01
Physical Studios
Long-term studio space for painting, fashion, film, sound, ceramics and digital practice.
02
Equipment Access
Shared cameras, looms, kilns, presses, editing suites and post-production tools.
03
Mentorship
Resident curators, technicians and visiting masters across each discipline.
04
Distribution
Direct routes into The Collection, FAACCE Festival, exhibitions and acquisition.
Membership
02
Built around the working creator.
Members include verified creators, residents, students and visiting fellows. Profiles, certificates and bookings are managed through the Creator Studio.
Roadmap
03
From flagship to fifty-four.
Lagos, Nairobi, Dakar and Johannesburg open the network — followed by a phased opening of a FAACCE Studio in every African capital.
