Evolution Fund:

Meet the
creatives!

The Evolution Fund was all about growing ideas and bigger impact

The Evolution Fund supported individuals and organisations with strong ideas ready to grow. It offered £5,000–£20,000 commissions to help creatives develop their work and reach more people across the town.

While the fund has now closed, the Evolution projects it supported are actively underway during 2026 — delivering arts, creative health, wellbeing and community-focused work across Luton.

Now it’s time to meet the creatives and organisations who received Evolution Commissions.

They’ve taken this opportunity and run with it — creating work that connects with people and places all over Luton throughout 2026.

Want to see what they’re up to?
Dive in below and explore their stories, photos, and social links—then follow along as their projects unfold!

And if you’re ready to spark your own ideas, check out our resources page. It’s packed with tips, venue info, fair pay guidance, and more to help you keep creating.
