Seven years, one community
Creative Code Art started as a place to share generative art on Instagram. It grew into festivals, live shows and workshops across continents, and a community of artists who paint with code. This site is its permanent home.

A permanent, free home: artist pages, live works that run in the browser, remixes that always credit the original, and a worldwide directory of creative coders.
Always on
Prompt challenges
A theme, a week, and artists everywhere answering it in code, from self-portraits in TouchDesigner and p5.js to works about how to change the world.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions in TouchDesigner, MaxMSP and live-coded music with Strudel and Orca, in person and online. Education is at the heart of what we do.
