About
We are making monthly plays and musicals with actors, singers, and dancers telling real Nigerian stories. Everyone on the team gets paid, and our audiences can help support and share the stories online.
Impact
The Art Factory empowers young creatives, preserves Nigerian stories, and builds community through theatre, music, and technology, creating paid opportunities and lasting cultural impact.
Progress
I graduated with a degree in Performing and Film Arts and with "The Art Factory", We've built a talented team of actors, singers, and dancers. We've organized and participated actively in numerous stage, plays, operas, musicals and dance dramas.
Team
I am a versatile artist, theatre creative and musician with over ten years experience, I am also a publicity manager and I’ve led productions, trained creatives, and built networks in Abuja and Ilorin, uniquely equipping me to launch The Art Factory.
