About D'Gathering
A community built to help creativity move forward.
D'Gathering of Creatives is an arts and entertainment community based in Lagos, Nigeria. We discover, celebrate and connect Creatives - creating opportunities for visibility, promotion, connection and growth.
Who We Are
A gathering of young, innovative and passionate Creatives
We believe Creative expression deserves room to be seen, appreciated and connected to people who can help it travel further. D'Gathering is more than one annual event. The community is expressed through gatherings, exhibitions, performances, Creative discovery, D'Creative Contest, digital profiles, the Store, galleries and opportunities for interaction before, during and after our events.
