✰ THIS YEAR’S annual THEME: close read

IN 2024, WE GATHERED AROUND RITUAL.

Inspired by the Texas cosmos and the little-big cycles of our lives (from election seasons to daily routines), our 2024 theme reminded us to zoom in and out. To reimagine, reexamine or simply remember the rituals connecting us to ourselves, our communities and our cultures.

IN 2025, WE’RE CONDUCTING A CLOSE READ.

It’s been one decade since we hosted the first creative meet-up that led to Future Front. So, it’s time for a close read. This year’s shows, public exhibitions, workshops, resource guides (and more) will ask you to pay close attention, to ask questions and consider big ideas, to make notes in the proverbial margins. To connect how something came to be to what it feels like now—the ultimate creative process.

Do you want to get involved in 2025?

WE’RE HERE FOR A TEXAS THAT WELCOMES CULTURES OF CREATIVITY, CURIOSITY AND INTERSECTIONAL DESIGN.
