Whilst many people know FACT as a gallery and cinema and the UK's leading media arts organisation, not many people know that FACT is also a registered charity. Our supporters help FACT in many different ways.
Learning and Communities
FACT runs a groundbreaking, award-winning community and education arts programme across Liverpool and Merseyside.
Supporting new and emerging artists
As well as commissioning new film, video and new media art works from internationally renowned artists, FACT supports new emerging artists through our exhibition programme, residencies and research. In the past we have given major solo exhibitions to then emerging and now world-renowned international artists including Turner Prize nominated filmmaker and artist Isaac Julien, Pipilotti Rist and 2010 Palme d'Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
