Liverpool School of Art: The Creative Ecosystem

Celebrate 200 years of the Liverpool School of Art in creating an ecosystem mind map of Liverpool's connections to its art education history
About this Event

The Liverpool School of Art, the second oldest School of Art in England and creative heart of this city, turns 200 years old in 2025! As part of the Being Human Festival, and as one of the many celebrations for the School's bicentenary, you're invited to participate in making a huge map to identify the people and organisations which connect in any way, shape, form, or time to the School since its formation in 1825 - discovering the creative ecosystem of Liverpool's art education history in the process.

This drop-in event will run concurrently with exhibitions on the history of Liverpool's art education based in the same building, and will hopefully contribute to further exhibit work as part of the ongoing celebration activities.

All are welcome - you don't have to have been a student at the Liverpool School of Art to attend!

Light refreshments will be provided.

The event is based on the Lower Ground Floor of the Mount Pleasant Campus Library (formerly Aldham Robarts). The building is wheelchair accessible, but please email [email protected] if you have any specific access questions or concerns.

If you can't make the event but are still interested in the Liverpool School of Art's history, LJMU Special Collections & Archives manage the archival papers of the School which are available to browse here, and you can visit anything from our many collections by appointment anytime Mon-Fri 10:00-16:00.

This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 6 - 15 November 2025. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
