Following on from the fun we had at the Kusama show I happily stepped out on Saturday night with friends to see the latest Manchester Open exhibition showing at HOME. The show features pieces from 473 Mancunian artists one of which has been selected to receive the HOME award for a solo exhibition in the Granada Foundation Galleries. The artworks featured are by established professionals, new and emerging talent, graduates, students, enthusiatic amateurs and first time artists - the youngest aged 5. Most of the pieces are excitingly available to buy.
We hugely enjoyed the show, our only quibble was that we wanted more, just one extra room of art would have made it more impactful. The artwork itself sparked many conversations and it was fantastic to soak up that Manchester culture. Look forward to seeing what the next Open brings, favourites below.
