The Creators Project

About the events

In its inaugural year, The Creators Project traveled the globe with a monumental event series celebrating innovations and innovators at the forefront of creativity, culture, and technology. With a collection of curated artworks and installations, films, panel discussions, and live performances by artists from all around the world, the events marked the dawn of a new era of creative exploration powered by the technological leaps and bounds that are changing our world as we know it.

The series began in New York City, then moved to London, Sao Paulo, and Seoul, culminating in an unforgettable 3-day exposition in Beijing.

In 2011, our event series kicked off at Coachella, one of the world’s premier art and music festivals. Selected artwork from the festival and additional work from The Studio will be traveling the world, touring across Lyon, Paris, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Beijing, and New York.

In addition, The Creators Project will be partnering with international culture centers in various cities around the world, hosting multi-day exhibitions and again featuring the most innovative musical performances, interactive artworks, films, and curated talks and panels the world has to offer.
