Frontier

We believe that choosing a creative path is about pushing the boundaries, innovation and conquering new Frontiers.

The Frontier is a place where we nurture young creatives. We provide a platform to connect, promote their work, get inspired and win scholarships / prizes through creative challenges.

About Frontier

Frontier is a global community platform that connects young creatives—designers, artists, architects, writers, photographers, filmmakers, and others—around the world. Created in 2011, it is an incubator where talented artists share their work in an online portfolio, apply for scholarships, participate in global creative challenges, collaborate on projects, and discuss the latest industry trends. 

Frontier is nurtured by five top universities on three continents: NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego, California; Santa Fe University of Art and Design in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti and Domus Academy in Milan, Italy; and Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand. These established institutions prepare students for fulfilling careers in any field that seeks creative thinkers. They accomplish this by providing mentoring from faculty members who are working artists and designers, collaboration with students from all over the globe, and real-world projects that forge important industry connections. 

Members and activities

Frontier is open to all aspiring and professional designers, artists, and architects. Most members are students, but the site welcomes professionals to share insights and mentor junior members. Faculty members from the five nurturing schools are also part of the network and offer their expertise to other members.
