NYFEW Creative Fest 2026 - Naija Resilience: Accessing Funding in the Creative Economy

​Nigeria's creative economy is alive. Nollywood is a global industry. Afrobeats is on every playlist in the world. Nigerian fashion, art, and digital creativity are being celebrated everywhere except in the funding room.

​NYFEW Creative Fest 2026 is a virtual conference where we go inside that room. We are bringing together the people who have found the money, those who give it, and those who are building without it - for an honest, practical conversation about what it really takes to fund a creative career or business in Nigeria today.

​Just real stories, real advice, and a live pitch showcase that puts creatives in the spotlight where they belong.

​WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• ​Artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and content creators at any stage

• ​Creative entrepreneurs looking to grow or fund their ventures

• ​Recent graduates entering the creative industry

• ​Anyone who has ever wondered how to turn their creative work into a funded career
