Research

We aim to develop artistic talent at all levels and provide several different ways for artists and researchers to get involved in what we do.

FACTLab

FACTLab is our experimental workshop space designed to reveal the creative processes behind our exhibitions programme, as well as offering opportunities for people to develop skills in a range of creative technologies.

This space also acts as an incubator for creative production and critical thinking, so you will find our artists in residence, and researchers, artists and technologists at work here.

Launched in 2015, FACTLab was created through a partnership between FACT and the Liverpool School of Art and Design at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU).

FACTLab reveals the processes behind our programme and ensures that this is a place where art is made and not just shown.
