Featuring artworks by 40 Greater Manchester artists and makers, this selling exhibition will display two and three-dimensional art and craft, including ceramics, glass, print and sculpture. All work has been selected following an open call out, with the jury comprising of Ann-Marie Franey and Victoria Scholes, organisers of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair, and exhibition Curator Michelle Keeling.
Also opening on the same day is Li / Lu - a solo exhibition by Manchester-based fine artist, Sam Owen Hull in Gallery '74. Sam is a contemporary artist working in Manchester. Her work is an intuitive response to her worldview and the increasing polarisation of society; she uses the areas between surface and space, working at the intersection of painting and sculpture, fine art and craft.
