Join us for an Inspiration Day in Liverpool and discover all things Immersive Arts
Would you like to explore immersive technology within your creative practice? Are you thinking of applying to our 2025 funding round? This Inspiration Day will demystify immersive arts and show you how technology can enhance your creative work.
Who is this Inspiration Day for?
We welcome artists from all backgrounds, art forms, and career stages. These sessions are a starting point for artists to explore how immersive technologies could influence their creative practice—and to get an insight into immersive tools, techniques and opportunities. It is also a chance to learn more about the Immersive Arts programme, speak to our team and hear from some of our current cohort of funded artists.
If you are not yet working with immersive technologies, this event is especially for you.
