Empowering African CG Talent Through Cloud Rendering & Community

The global VFX and animation industry is evolving faster than ever, and some of the most exciting talent is emerging from places the industry has traditionally overlooked. In this webinar, GridMarkets sits down with CG Africa, a fast-growing creative community dedicated to empowering African CG artists and connecting them with global opportunities.

Hosted by the GridMarkets team alongside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, the session explores how cloud rendering, secure infrastructure, and community-driven platforms are helping remove long-standing barriers to entry for artists working in animation, VFX, and 3D visualization. From scalable cloud compute to artist-friendly workflows, the conversation highlights how technology can unlock creativity—regardless of geography.

The webinar also features insights from CG Africa founder Femi, alongside talented artists Sylvester and Adewale, who share their personal journeys into CG, the challenges of learning without formal industry access, and how platforms like CG Africa are reshaping the future of African digital art. Together, they paint a compelling picture of a creative ecosystem on the verge of global impact.
