PROJECT JOURNAL

The Creative Future Project was founded in 2011 with the intention of starting a worldwide art project meant to inspire and lift the creative spirits within. Creative Future is currently released biannually, featuring some of the most inspiring and creative artists in the industry. We believe in the beauty of art and with willingness to learn, we continue to explore the unknown in search of new and inspiring creative knowledge from some of today’s leading creators and creative thinkers. Striving to explore new ways of thinking and creating, we weight quality and craftsmanship very high. We do not consider The Creative Future Project another art and design magazine, but instead a creative art project, which is not only a curation of creative ideas in art and design, but also an artwork in itself. Each copy of Creative Future is meticulously put together by hand, assuring no compromises were taken in the creation process. With very few and limited releases each year, we believe the Creative Future Project is something unique and special. We hope you feel the same way.

The Creative Future Project has grown a lot since we first started it in the Fall of 2010 and with three issues behind us, all sold out in less than 24 hours, we thought now would be a great time to expand the project and start looking towards new artistic opportunities and in new creative directions.
