One year in and Studio/Lab
@fact_liverpool is starting to feel real. Like it could actually be a place that shifts an arts org from commissioner, to collaborator. Making it happen over the past few years has been an absolute slog and I’ve learned loads. I deffo miss everything about exhibition-making but have been constantly gifted gorgeous interactions, inspiring artists, and the most beautiful team in
@malidraper &
@warriorworth - so totally worth it 💕 Thanks to every one who fed into it, helped build it, all of the over 60 artists we’ve worked with since opening last April, our partners, and especially to our members. Also a 1st slide shout out to
@_jessfairclough for making the world’s cutest branding after like a 6-min chat about what it should feel like.
I very rarely say anything like this, but in a pretty rough couple of years I’m super proud of myself on this one.
