Mediale Background

Mediale is a commissioning organisation based in Selby, and working internationally. We don’t just present finished work or deliver events – we support artists to develop and create ambitious new work, from early ideas through to production.

We work across art and technology, supporting artists and studios who use digital tools and processes as an integral part of how they think and make.

A big part of our role is identifying and working closely with exceptional artists with the potential to grow their profile, opportunities and reach. Through creative development, advocacy, introductions and practical support, we help artists realise projects and build long-term opportunities for their work.

This long-term approach sits at the heart of what we do. Through our Associate Artists roster and wider network, we build ongoing relationships that help create the conditions for artists to thrive. Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it is central to Mediale’s reputation, funding and impact.
