Artist Travel Support to PACE

The Pan-African Creative Exchange (PACE)
The Pan-African Creative Exchange (PACE) is a biannual arts market for African artists, developed for national and international presenters and producers. PACE provides the highest quality inter-disciplinary arts product (theatre, dance, music, craft etc) from Africa, to buyers, artists and the general public.
This PACE Gofundme campaign will help us secure travel funds and accommodation for artists coming from countries as far away as Cameroon, Egypt, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Senegal, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Your generous donation will allow Africa-based artists, who have gone through a rigorous selection process, to be part of the PACE showcase and present their work to international presenters, producers and investors. In addition to Africa-based representatives, these are coming from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, the UK and the US.
Your support will create essential pathways for artists based in Africa to develop intra-African and international touring opportunities, and facilitate sustainable career trajectories for artists from the continent.
Creative industries in Africa currently contribute less than 1% to the global (touring) creative economy.*
PACE will change that number.
The aim of PACE is to increase the global reach of Africa’s arts industry to the wider world and to contribute to the continent’s development of future work.
PACE was born in Bloemfontein at a long table conversation between arts professionals from the African continent and international visitors, and is driven by a 'coalition of the willing' from the African continent as well as cultural professionals outside of Africa.
