Luton Create Fund:

Meet the
creatives!

Meet the creatives supported by the Luton Create Fund

The Luton Create Fund was part of the Luton Arts Programme.
It supported creative people and organisations across Luton to develop new ideas and projects.

Although the fund itself is now closed, the projects it supported are very much alive — with exciting work taking place across Luton throughout 2026.

Their commissions span visual and performing arts, film, music, digital creativity, storytelling, heritage and community traditions.

Together, they show the energy, talent and imagination of Luton’s creative community.

These grants opened the door for new voices, bold ideas and projects that are now taking shape across Luton in 2026.
