Folly and Lanternhouse International are delighted to announce the three successful artists joining them for the FLI Residencies 2009. The scheme is now in its second developmental year as the result of a keen and dynamic partnership between the two organisations.

Internationally renowned interactive artist Stanza has just completed a three year Arts and Humanities Research Fellowship at Goldsmiths Studios. His work encompasses interactive art, real time networked spaces, installations and performances, and he will spend the month of July in residence assessing his work, its impact and relevance.

Support folly

Why Support folly?

folly's goal is to reach people with digital art, we're busy enlightening and delighting people, equipping them to live as active citizens in a newly digital world.

Our ethic is one of participation, inclusiveness, learning, production and celebration. We work with people of all ages and from all backgrounds.

Best of all, almost everything we do is FREE! And that's why we need your support.

Being free and fabulous takes money. Our funding by public bodies (local councils, Big Lottery and Arts Council England) does not make up all of our income. We have to find a large part of it ourselves in order to fulfil our mission.

Please browse the different ways you can support folly below.

Donate to folly today!

Whatever amount you give will make a difference by helping us continue to deliver first-rate workshops, exhibitions, film nights, software art, sound art, research into open-source technologies and to our yearly festival of digital culture.

You can now donate to folly using the secure Charity Choice website in co-operation with the Co-operative Bank.

You can also raise money for folly without it costing you a penny!

Everyclick is a great new search engine. It works just like other major search engines but it also generates cash for charity. It doesn’t cost you or us a penny, so it is a great way to help folly every day.

Join as a fundraiser for folly at Everyclick and raise money every time you search the internet!
