Delighted to be selected for the 50 Windows of Creativity event across Manchester City Centre. We will be creating a window for Saddlers Yard at NOMA. #50WindowsMcr
Wild in Art has partnered with Manchester City Council and event partners Autotrader and Dandara Living to create 50 Windows of Creativity, an inspiring way to explore Manchester this autumn.
50 Windows of Creativity will transform the city’s windows and spaces into an innovative art gallery which takes you on a creative journey around the city. The displays feature multiple art forms, from fine art and photography to ceramics, crafts, mosaics and murals - all curated by talented artists, designers, makers and collectives with a connection to Greater Manchester.
As an attraction for all to see and explore, it will positively contribute to the economic, social and cultural life of Manchester at a time when we all need something new to explore. More importantly, the art trail will help to support the city's art and creative community, its businesses and cultural venues.
All pieces on display will be available to buy directly from the artist or maker so it’s a great opportunity to own an original piece of art or find unique gifts for friends and family.
The project culminates with an auction which will see a selection of pieces auctioned with proceeds going to their artists and makers, and to The Lord Mayor of Manchester Charity Appeal Trust - We Love MCR Charity which aims to help improve the lives and life chances of Manchester people.
