WHAT PAL DOES

PAL is a catalyst for innovative thinking and creative practice across the arts and in science, education, research, policy-making and cultural leadership.

We bring together talented and passionate professionals. We create the conditions in which they can collaborate to make new work, challenge the contexts in which they work and re-invigorate their practice.

We look for artists and other practitioners who are eager to experiment with existing work which can be adapted and taken into new spaces and with new work which is not being developed elsewhere. By bringing together people who would not normally have the opportunity to collaborate, PAL Labs engender unexpected and innovatory results.

As well as making our own Lab programmes, we accept commissions which challenge our own practice. These are typically for Labs to develop new policies, new processes and practice or new products. We welcome these opportunities to learn.
