What does it mean to “make it” as an artist in the 21st century? As traditions evolve and power shifts, artists with the skills to create their own work become the trailblazers of our culture.

Join us for the 2026 Making It Festival: a celebration of new, original work made by Guildhall School’s vibrant and multi-skilled community. The programme will also include special events, installations and pop-up performances across campus.
