The NET - a new Installation at LEVEL



A stunning physical interactive installation running for 5 weeks at the LEVEL Centre. It has been created to provide a stimulating visual environment for all of the events within the Participate + Create programme and visitors to the Centre. The NET forms a large sculptural object in the centre of the space and uses different lighting states to emphasise certain contours of the structure. These change over time and create the impression of several different sculptural formations from a single structure.

Will Hurt - Artist in Residence for the Inter-ACT + Re-ACT Programme


Inter-ACT + Re-ACT
Co-commission with D-LAB

Will Hurt - Artist in Residence
LEVEL is pleased to announce that digital artist Will Hurt has been selected to undertake the first Inter-ACT + Re-ACT Artist Residency at the Level Centre. This project is a partnership with D-LAB and funded through the Arts Council, England.

Will’s brief is to create new work that will engage people as they travel through the LEVEL Centre.  It provides the opportunity to work with LEVEL artists and spend time researching and trialing new methodology, tools and equipment to enable people with a learning disability to interact with and react to art within a digital environment.

Body as Canvas



An exploration of identity.

A new photographic exhibition at New Art Exchange, Nottingham UK from June 20th. 


Developed through a process where people with a learning disability created several unstructured, improvised performance events using movement, sound and light. Each performance was based loosely upon the underlying themes of an exhibition at New Art Exchange and captured using a digital camera – framing just a fraction of a second of the event. 


The camera became the audience for the performance and its presence influenced how people reacted and wanted to be presented within its frame. Body as Canvas presents the individual images as statements – a behaviour, a culture and a source of creativity where difference shines - a cultural world yet to be acknowledged. The photography uses soft focus and shallow depth of field to give emphasis to the individual within each frame.

Purple Peach Club Event at LEVEL

The first Purple Peach Event took place last night. What a great evening. The LEVEL Centre looked fantastic, full of people dancing, re-acting, inter-acting, socialising and just taking in the atmosphere.
