BellArtLabs was formed in 1996 as a moniker for its three founding artists, Tom Scott, Chris Mizsak and Tony Scott. Through a process of research and dialogue—often over long periods of time—synergies are explored, and a cross pollination of concepts occurs, which develop into collaborative presentations within a gallery-based setting, or as digital artworks and live performances.
Past exhibitions have been presented in Huddersfield, Hull, and Lubin, Poland. The group also participated in the 5th Cambridge International Super 8mm Film Festival (2011), and Flicker: Artists & Super 8 at Smiths Row, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk (2013) and presented a group show at the Greyfriars Art Space, King's Lynn in 2016 and more recently the Festival Ecos Urbanos in 2021.
