Creative Industries Festival 2026

Creative Balance: Good Work, Health and Life

The 2026 Creative Industries Festival explores how creativity can help us find balance in our work, health and lives. As creative practitioners navigate increasingly complex ways of working, the festival focuses on what it means to find good work that supports inclusion, health and wellbeing.

As the boundaries between professional and personal life continue to blur, creative thinkers and makers are reimagining what “good work” looks like: purposeful, sustainable and human-centred.

Through talks, workshops and industry collaborations, we’ll explore how creativity can shape workplaces that foster inclusion, wellbeing and innovation, and how we can work together to create an industry where people can truly thrive.

Presented by School of Arts & Creative Industries.
