SUMMARY:In Praise of Blandness
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of works by Manchester based photographer\, Robert John Watson. \nHere’s what Robert says about the exhbition: \n‘In Praise Of Blandness is in no way mundane. I see the silent in the world. It is a coincidence that most of my pictures have very few or no people in them as we are just coming out of a world wide lockdown. None of the exhibited pictures were taken during this time. In fact\, I didn’t take a single picture. I did as advised and stayed at home. \nI have predominantly photographed places that go unnoticed. Places and areas that are walked past without a second thought. Often until that particular vista is gone or changed forever. I find myself photographing these views as they are quiet and suit my slow method of photography. I like working without hurry. Shooting with Large Format film demands patience. \nIn Praise Of Blandness invites the viewer to appreciate the aesthetic of the ordinary and the everyday.’ \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:75 Memorial Flames Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:A new Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition at Manchester Central Library.  \nHere’s more information about the exhibition from the organisers. \nHolocaust Memorial Day 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In commemoration of this landmark anniversary\, we ran an exciting project that organisations and community groups all over the UK took part in. \n\n\n \n\n\nFrom art groups to faith groups and charities to schools\, groups of all kinds came together to make their own Memorial Flames. Each one commemorates 75 years since the end of the Holocaust\, the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jews in Europe. \nIn November a panel of experts reviewed the artworks submitted\, and 75 Memorial Flame artworks were selected to form a national exhibition which launched at the UK Commemorative Ceremony for HMD 2020. We were pleased to then have been able to host the 75 Memorial Flames exhibition in Cardiff\, with the support of the Welsh Government. After being put on hold due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19\, we are delighted that the Museum of Liverpool will be showcasing the artworks\, with a three-week digital exhibition starting on 1 October\, and the full physical exhibition will be on display at Manchester Central Library from 10 October\, until the end of the year. \nIf you are unable to visit Manchester or Liverpool safely during this time\, you can see all 75 Memorial Flames that feature in the national exhibition\, and more from participating groups\, by exploring our 75 Memorial Flames map or view the digital exhibition here.

SUMMARY:50 Windows of Creativity
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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. \nAll 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. \nThe 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 (registered charity number 1066972) which aims to help improve the lives and life chances of Manchester people. \nThe 50 Windows of Creativity displays are in windows and spaces around Manchester city centre and can be enjoyed within social distancing regulations. All visitors are encouraged to maintain a safe distance\, wear a face covering when appropriate and be respectful to other trail visitors. \nAt Central Library\, Caroline Coates has created a piece in partnership with Manchester Libraries\, inspired by the city’s rich history of standing up for what it believes in\, and of course the amazing archives at Manchester Central Library. \n50 Windows of Creativity is created by Wild in Art in partnership with Manchester City Council. \nDownload the trail map
