First Friday's Group provides equal access to the arts
“Upworthy was able to speak with the First Friday’s Group founders, who developed an idea that promotes equal opportunity and access to the arts. The team explains how they came up with the idea for First Fridays Group, their vision for the future, and how technology will help them continue to improve the lives of others through their work.”
These cofounders provide a platform for local artists. Now, it’s their turn to perform on a global stage
“Every single time that we said ‘yeah, right’ externally, internally the seeds of ‘what if’ kept growing,” Madu said. “We realized that tech is the answer to the scalability and global accessibility of our platform.”
