We make art.
We help other people make art. We run spaces where you can make art.

Little Lost Robot CIC is a not for profit collective of artists working with social practice.

We manage community studios in the area of Bath & North East Somerset. These are warm spaces that host a programme of free drop-in creative, community learning activities, alongside studios for resident artists and we can provide affordable room hire for community organisations and events.

We also make our own art that is immersive and interactive, digital and playable. We strive to bring visibility to the risks to the standard of living for othered communities. We demystify uses of creative technology to reimagine everyday life that is accommodating to the scope of needs felt by real people. We present an accessible vision of the future that is gloriously humane in all its messy domestic parts. 

Art 

We design and build carefully engineered, immersive, structural artwork with recycled materials, metalwork and textiles. Our work is accessible and playable. We use creative technology to fuse approachable art and design with digital programming to discuss issues around inclusion and belonging. Our expertise is in installing large-scale, outdoor installation art and set design and build for circus, outdoor theatre. We have a wealth of expertise building UK festivals and other live public events. We are known for our custom installation artworks for clients including Hampton Court Palace, Wakehurst Kew Royal Botanical Gardens a d Chester Zoo, as seen on BBC’s Blue Peter.

Community Studios

We use our community studios to codesign and put together these artworks with our artists in residence, student internships and public visitors. In this way we skill share and provide access and training in creative skills. We also provide specialist business development support and advice around arts funding and resources. We work closely with the Bath and North East Somerset Council – Regeneration Team to run our operations out of vacant units. We occupy and care for empty spaces and bring life and active productivity back into otherwise closing down areas. We use social practice, creative skills and our experience with embedded community development to help support reinvigoration within existing communities. We work with local creatives, social history and aim to develop confidence in existing skills and create pathways into building creative careers. 

Artist Residencies 

We regularly offer artist residencies in our venues. Depending on individuals’ needs we offer focussed packages around studio space, business development and funding support. To hear about our up to date opportunities please follow our channels or sign up for our newsletter.
