Creo initiates and organises events and programming across three key strands: photography, film and contemporary art. Established in 2007 as World Photography Organisation, Creo has since grown in scope, furthering its mission of developing meaningful opportunities for creatives and expanding the reach of its cultural activities. Today, its flagship projects include the Sony World Photography Awards, PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai, Photo London and the Sony Future Filmmaker Awards.Working in partnership with Angus Montgomery Arts, Creo provides support across the group's ventures, helping to deliver some of the world's leading art fairs. These include member fairs in The Art Assembly, an affiliation of major international art fairs with a particular focus on the Asia Pacific region.Creo derives from the Latin ‘creare': to make, bring forth; in turn related to ‘crescere': to arise, grow. It is this ethos that sits at the heart of Creo and its activities – the drive to create, to spark ideas, and to encourage growth. Translating directly to ‘I create', in this spirit Creo sets out to empower and give agency to creative voices.
