All welcome, pre-booking required for some events.
The Future Now Festival of Creativity showcases the work of the Sheffield Creative Industries Institute’s graduating students, including artists, designers, filmmakers, animators, writers, architects and performers. We ask emerging creatives to show us the future through exhibitions, events, performances and screenings.
We present creative proposals to real problems: from new fashion to new videogames. We propose human-centred approaches for challenges as varied as the increasing demands on the built environment to greater sustainability in the products we buy.
Our creatives propose new brands and services, launch new enterprises and help us glimpse alternative futures. Most of all, they tell stories, documenting the world as they find it and how they’d like it to be.
The Festival of Creativity takes place across Sheffield city centre, in London and online April-June 2026.
