OFFF, the leading festival in creativity, digital art and emerging talent, returns to Disseny Hub in Barcelona 4-6th April.
With the aim of promoting creative talent in the fields of design and digital arts, OFFF offers three full days of inspiring talks, workshops, masterclasses, a design market, networking, and other exhibition activities.
Now in it’s 24th year, OFFF presents a carefully curated program, full of surprises and innovative proposals. More than 70 internationally renowned speakers in the fields of creativity, design, visual art, and digital culture will be part of the lineup.
Highlights include the musical performance and live painting of muralist Timothy Goodman; a conversation with creative coach Marko Pfann featuring digital artists Joshua Davis, BUCK, Vallée Duhamel, and Stephy Fung on navigating the creative industry; live talks from art director Stefan Sagmeister with illustrator Ben Tallon; a performance by queer director David Wilson, with a cabaret twist; and the live presentation of 3D artist Sam Rolfes.
Furthermore, this year the festival focuses on training and promoting emerging talent with "The Next Us," a platform that allows young creatives from the design schools of Barcelona to present their projects to the international community that gathers every year at OFFF.
Full line up is here.
OFFF 2024 is supported by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Ajuntament de Barcelona, Disseny Hub Barcelona, and official sponsors: Adobe, Moritz, Houdini, Wix Studio, Wix Playground, Automattic, Zetafonts, Fail Fast, and
SOOT. Partners this year include Montana Colors, TEXIA, DICE, NEA, and Mirador Torre Glòries.
Main Partner Adobe continues to evolve Creative Cloud to empower and support all creators, regardless of background, motivation, skillset or focus area. OFFF attendees will get first-hand access to the cutting-edge ways in which Adobe is innovating, as well as hearing from some of the best designers in the industry on OFFF's main stages. Following last year's runaway success, the Adobe Creativity Hub will present a series of free masterclasses that will provide practical knowledge to advance attendees’ creative approaches and processes. At the booth, designed to reignite creative passions, Adobe will also showcase its latest tools and products, as well as Adobe Live and Portfolio review sessions to educate, entertain and foster relationships across the global creative community.
