Education at Fabrica
Fabrica is committed to promoting an understanding of visual arts and crafts. The key principles which underpin our education work are:
 
• 'The arts' are a flexible arena in which we can evolve our individual and collective identities through engagement with ideas, images, objects and their possible meanings.
• Curiosity and creativity are inherent human qualities.
• Learning at Fabrica is a multi-sensory and social activity.
• Artists' ideas, values and lifestyle choices are often at odds with mainstream thinking or cultural trends. As such, artists can be inspirational, alternative role models for young or marginalised people.
• Artists have a strong sense of identity. This is useful in facilitating others to develop their sense of identity and 'voice'.
• The responses of adults and young people are equally valid.

For each show we programme a variety of educational gallery activities for our different audiences to inspire curiosity and debate about contemporary art.
