About CC Fest

Creative coding
for everyone.

CC Fest is a free and friendly event for anyone curious about creative code. Come spend a few hours with us — make interactive and engaging digital art, animation, and games, work with AI or hardware, and explore many other options. Hear from keynote speakers on important and timely topics related to creative coding.

We welcome

  • Students, artists, hobbyists, creatives, and tinkerers who are curious to learn
  • Educators and community organizers who are looking for inspiration
  • Everyone who would like to learn more about creative code and our community

Past Events

CC Fest has been gathering creative coders since 2016.

We hosted our first virtual event on July 11, 2020. Previous in-person CC Fests have taken place in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Read about the first CC Fest at NYU‑ITP in October 2016.

Community

Code of
Conduct

How we want to behave as a community, openly and clearly.

Our goal is to make CC Fest a space where many different people can come together to share and learn from each other. It isn’t about being “nice.” We ask everyone — organizers, speakers, guests, and attendees — to treat others with respect, listen generously, and work towards a thriving and equitable environment for all.

Conflict is unavoidable. What matters is how we deal with it. If something goes wrong, speak up if you feel safe to, or reach out to Saber Khan and we will help you.
