FACT and Manchester Metropolitan University’s School of Digital Arts are thrilled to present Double Agents: Play and Performance in Digital Worlds, a new series of monthly seminars exploring the social, political and cultural impacts of working with advanced digital technologies. Join us in Manchester on Thu 26 Mar for the next event, during which we’ll hear from upcoming exhibiting artist Rachel Maclean and Adinda V’ant Klooster from SODA.

Between 2024 and 2027, more than 200 artists across Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are being supported to explore, experiment and expand their creative practice through Immersive Arts funding. Ahead of this year’s cohort announcement, we’re looking back at three artists who embedded themselves within Studio/Lab at FACT, using the equipment, mentorship and resources available to push their work further.

We're delighted to launch our 2026 open call for three paid Digital Artist Residencies! Designed to support early-career artists in the North West and North Wales, this year’s residencies focus on world-building and creative experimentation using Unreal Engine. The opportunity is supported by Lucid Games, DaDa (Disability and Deaf Arts), and Homotopia.
