Factotum (arts organisation)

In 2005 Factotum won a Paul Hamlyn Award for the Visual Arts and participated in Northern Ireland's first showing in the Venice Biennale.

In 2006 they put on an exhibition about the Factotum Choir in the Project Arts Centre[4] in Dublin (subsequently toured to other venues).

This exhibition contained film clips, artefacts (like record covers and a desiccated cat) and an extensive history of the Choir from the 1950s to 2000.

[5] In 2009 Factotum organised an exhibition called 'Northern Ireland Unseen Offscreen' as part of the Belfast Film Festival.

[7][8] In 2009 Factotum released the feature film Ditching, a story about two people going on a journey across Northern Ireland in a desolate post-apocalyptic future.

The Factotum logo, derived from the definition of 'factotum' as 'a dogsbody'.
