We develop, produce, exhibit and tour work from artists working around the blurred edges of digital art. Dynamic and ambitious, Mediale represents a significant roster of artists and artworks. We work year-round to develop and deliver new commissions, live events and artistic development. We deliver careful, long-term interventions & holistic artist development, whilst producing high profile arts events that stimulate new thinking. Mediale maintains the highest possible standards of curation, delivery and production; commissioning and producing globally significant work that is accessible to all while championing diverse talent. Through incorporating technologies into their works, the artists we work with bridge the gap between the new and the traditional, to challenge and inspire. We work alongside artists, building trust through our actions, not just our words, to create lasting relationships, collaborations and partnerships with those who share and champion our values. Mediale is fundamentally focused on national and international impact. We take bold artistic risks, programming diverse, powerful and provocative work from across the globe. Mediale is an independent arts charity, originally founded in 2016 to celebrate the designation of York as the UK’s first and only UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts.
