folly is a leading digital arts agency working across England’s Northwest.

folly presents an active artistic programme that provides creative interaction and collaboration between artists and the wider public using technology.

folly commissions, exhibits, promotes and supports creative work and innovation with a strong emphasis on the use of online media, networked systems and integrated technologies.

Lanternhouse actively encourages encounters between artists’ research, risk taking and participation.   We do this through a mesh model made up of 3 strands of programming that enable artistic crossover:

• Residency: Opportunities for artists, critical thinkers and curators/producers to undertake research and develop new projects
• Commissions: Off site, digital or temporary projects by artists wishing to engage with people, place and big ideas
• Open Door: A mixed bag of drop in events that enable people to see, debate and take part in art
