An initiative of puma.creative, Creative Africa Network is a virtual platform with global reach, connecting the creative world within and outside of Africa, giving visibility to the talents working in architecture, dance, design, fashion, film, fine art, literature, music, new media, performing arts and photography. Creative Africa Network is the partner network of Creative Caribbean Network.
Creative Africa Network social networking website, www.creativeafricanetwork.com allows individuals and institutions to create their own profiles. Creative Africa Network also includes a cultural directory and an exchange page featuring news of events, biennales, art and book fairs, music and film festivals, awards, reviews, calls for artists and other opportunities, providing professional information valuable to established and emerging artists as well as cultural liaisons.
The African and Diaspora Social Library fulfills an essential role in making information and publications available through a shared non-centralized library, and elective lending and borrowing by members.
The puma.creative Mobility Awards, awarded through Creative Africa Network, recognize dedicated service to the arts, honor the achievements of emerging or established artists, art professionals and arts organizations. These awards aim to facilitate their participation in major national and international art events, and provide the resources and support to enable them to enhance their networks and develop the relationships that will further their work or the goals of their institutions.
PUMAVision comes from a vision of a world that is better than the one we know now—a world that is safer, more peaceful and more creative. PUMAVision unites PUMA's corporate social responsibility activities and initiatives, guiding PUMA's work, partnerships and engagements worldwide. The programs of puma.safe (focusing on environmental and social issues), puma.peace (supporting global peace), and puma.creative (supporting artists and creative organizations) reflect PUMA’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility and define the partnerships and initiatives PUMA will support and pursue.
