Celebrating more than 30 years of international relations between both universities, the UTS x Shanghai University Creative Industries Showcase is designed to strengthen academic and industry collaborations, bridging the creative communities in Australia and China.

This three day open exhibition and showcase celebrates the powerful intersection of creativity and commerce, showcasing how we collaborate with our respective creative sectors — spanning animation, film, sound, media, urban design, fashion, architecture, and design—shape economic, social, and cultural landscapes. This initiative aims to bring together students, faculty, industry professionals, and cultural leaders to share knowledge, spark new ideas, and form lasting partnerships.

In addition to celebrating the creative industries, this event series also highlights our UTS Faculty of Design and Society, showcasing our expertise in innovative creative education and practice. By engaging key academic, industry, and community stakeholders, this event aims to become a catalyst for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, benefiting not only students and faculty but also the broader creative sector.
