Due to the current uncertainty around Coronavirus (COVID-19), Creative Future staff are working remotely, which means we may be a little slower to answer any phone calls or process any orders made through our website. If you have booked onto any of our activities, we will contact you directly to let you know if these are going ahead. Thank you for your patience at this time.
Making the arts more diverse
We are an arts organisation supporting 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.
For Writers
We bring talented underrepresented writers from the margins to the mainstream. We offer skills training, workshops, professional development and publishing opportunities.
For Artists
We want to see more underrepresented visual artists given the opportunity to promote, exhibit and sell their work.

Creative Future Writers’ Award
A writing development programme and competition showcasing the work of underrepresented writers
Founded in 2013, the Creative Future Writers’ Award is an annual development programme for talented writers from a wealth of backgrounds. It includes the UK’s only national writing competition for all underrepresented writers, alongside a series of workshops in hubs throughout the UK.
With the support of our leading literary partners, winners are selected by a panel of industry experts and are given the opportunity to develop their work through training, mentoring, assessment and coaching.
We sell limited edition art prints
We sell high quality limited edition art prints by emerging artists through our curated retail website. Featuring a wide variety of styles and mediums, all our artists experience barriers in accessing the mainstream art world due to mental health issues, disability, health, identity or other social circumstance.
By purchasing limited edition art prints through Creative Future you will get great art, invest in an artist who faces many personal challenges and support our work, enabling us to have a positive impact on more artists for years to come.
