Artist callout: Manchester Gay Village Art Project

 

We’re looking for a local LGBTQIA+ artist or artists to bring life and vibrancy to this bridge in our iconic Manchester’s Gay Village. Located on Sackville Street, this bridge is a gateway into the Village and has the potential to be an important focal point that immediately informs visitors that they have arrived in Manchester’s Gay Village.

The artist(s) will be commissioned by representatives from the local community, Friends of Sackville Gardens, Friends of Manchester’s Gay Village, The Village Licensed Business Association, Manchester Village Pride and LGBT Foundation (with support from Manchester City Council).

This is a community-backed project, being led by businesses and partners in the Village, as part of shared efforts to deliver on Manchester’s Gay Village Action Plan. So, this should be taken into account when considering the scope, scale and cost of the proposal.

If you’re an artist and think you can bring this vision to life, then please contact:
