ArtLab is concerned with how we make the most of our young peoples future’s, by bringing a wide range of children from across different social backgrounds into contact with cutting edge art and technology projects.

Our aim is to help educators, parents and pupils understand the value that art brings when combined with technology, offering amazing opportunities and potential careers within the creative and cultural sector.

Underlying this idea are a set of core educational values concerning the deeper understanding of computing, digital media and new technologies that will form part of a vibrant cultural and economically viable society both today and in the future. ArtLab is a co-created platform, featuring imaginative activities developed by students and artists, encouraging creative expression through the use of everyday materials.
