Creatives Garage

Creatives Garage We are a multidisciplinary movement for Creatives to network, share ideas, collaborate, learn, gain market accessibility and push boundaries.

Creatives Garage was formed out of past frustrations faced by its founders in the creative industry such as lack of funding, under pricing, lack of talent appreciation, me too-ism syndrome, education and practical sessions, lack of networking opportunities, undercutting and lack of exposure lead to the realization of creating a platform that could address these issues. We believe that the key to s

olving society challenges is through social innovation, creating a sustainable cultural network and market accessibility. Creatives Garage advocates for a society fueled by creativity.
