Creative Future

Creative Future Our vision is a world where the arts are diverse, representative and accessible to everyone.

Creative Future supports some of the UK's most talented underrepresented artists. Our mission is to make the arts more diverse and representative of the world we live in. We work with underrepresented artists of all kinds with a specialism in working with writers. We work with artists who lack opportunities due to mental health problems, substance misuse issues, learning or physical disabilities,

long term unemployment, or social exclusion of any kind. Our flagship event is the Creative future Writers' Award, our annual development programme. It includes the UK’s only national writing competition for ALL underrepresented writers, alongside a series of workshops in hubs throughout the UK.
