Administrator

Metal was founded in 2002 by Jude Kelly CBE and current artistic director Colette Bailey. We have three spaces in Liverpool (since 2004); Southend on Sea (since 2007) and Peterborough (since 2012). In each place, we work from buildings of historic significance that we have transformed from empty or derelict spaces into vibrant cultural and community hubs.

We support artists, locally, from across the UK and overseas, working in all disciplines, at all career levels, providing opportunities for artists-in-residence, running intensive, week-long Culture LAB’s for peer-to-peer learning and exchange, mentoring and professional development. We create large-scale, participatory art projects that respond to our immediate environment and involve people of all ages and from all walks of life. We curate exhibitions, festivals and other events which are often in response to place.

All our spaces provide short term incubation space for artists and other creative industry organisations. They are also well used by numerous community groups for meetings, workshops, performance, artist’s talks and the development of networks and ideas. We operate through a wide range of partnerships, ranging from Arts Council England, local authorities, and regional agencies. We also have strong working relationships with a wide range of other arts organisations, community groups, schools and HE and FE institutions. See www.metalculture.com for full programme
