media arts network [ma-net] exists to raise the profile of media* arts practice through discussion, presentation, dissemination and collaborative creative opportunities.

(*By the term 'media', this is understood to include the use of lens-based work, sound, installation, multi-media communications and emergent technologies).

ma-net is a consortium of members who work in organisations, companies and educational institutes with a geographic spread across Cumbria, Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester, enabling both rural and urban agencies to communicate and work together.
