You’ll like this exhibition because you’re in it!: an East Manchester Open — Corridor8
As non-profit organisation PROFORMA’s exhibition and live art venue, Longsight Art Space is dedicated to championing creativity within the Greater Manchester region.

Great Northern Tower [Unit 3] – otherwise known as The Great Medical Disaster, part of Castlefield Gallery’s New Art Spaces scheme – and Suckerpunch play host to The morning has gold in its mouth, the inaugural event of COLLAR’s forthcoming season of exhibitions, discussions and activities, (in) LOVE and FAITH.
