There are currently few services available to up and coming artists and few platforms that allow or provide them with start-up support or enable them to link up with other artists in similar situations. In a city such as Abuja where rents are exorbitant and many artists arrive with just their talents and their tools, finding the space, support and networks that enable them to express and grow that talent is oftentimes impossible, leading to a stunting of creative expression.

CAVIC also builds capacity and confidence across the creative workforce, ignited by creative education and skills provision. This space serves as an open resource for a range of collaborative youth meetings and efforts, and as an exhibition centre for photography and visual art, among other artistic endeavours. It also undertakes art promotion; shows and exhibitions; training at both physical and virtual spaces while also providing access to online marketplaces. CAVIC is a creative hub that provides artists with access to facilities to enable them pick up new skills, make them more visible and help them generate wealth in the creative ecosystem of Africa, whether they are visual artists, photographers, performers, designers, musicians, curators, consumers of creative works or suppliers of creative materials. It is strategically located in the heart of Abuja, the federal capital city of Nigeria.
