Northern Quarter Christmas Art and Design Trail

Promoting the eclectic mix of art and design in Manchester, this brand new art experience brings together nine different arts and design venues in Manchester’s creative heart, the Northern Quarter.

The venues involved in the trail represent a broad spectrum of Manchester’s evolving arts scene, all offering punters a wide variety of original art work covering an equally wide price range. The event will provide an excellent opportunity to start your own art collection, or add to an existing one. Or even if you do not intend to purchase, the trail is still a great way to spend a day.

Saturday 26th November is the day that will see the Northern Quarter’s usual clientele enhanced by swarming art types, with the following arts venues opening their doors to the public from 6pm to 9pm:

• Art & Devine
• Artzu
• Chinese Art Centre
• Comme Ça Art
• Designers Ink
• Majolica Works
• Manchester Craft & Design Centre
• Richard Goodall Gallery
• Stroon

After spending a day discovering what Manchester’s art scene has to offer, Manchester Craft and Design Centre will be hosting an after show party from 6 – 9pm, with free drinks, live music and DJ’s.

Those of you that have visited five or more of the above venues and collected a stamp from each will have the chance to win your own art collection – worth a huge £1000! Included in the collection are Ian Tilton’s ‘Fac 51 Hacienda’ and Sarah Brown’s ‘Above Manhatton’. The draw will take place during the after show party, at 7pm.
