Specialist Markets: Art Market

What do they sell?

Paintings
Photography

Glass art
Prints

The Art Market features only original pieces of art, and usually includes paintings, prints, photography, and glass art, all for sale by the artists themselves. The market gives new and upcoming artists the chance to showcase their work in an affordable, city centre location.

Items for sale will include: original photography by Amy Gibbings and Deborah Benbrook, paintings on glass by Bharat Makanji, and handmade ceramics by Rhian Templeman.

The Lost Properties Project, by arts organisation and community interest company, Arthur + Marthur, will also occupy one of the art stalls. The project aims to celebrate the work of carers in society. The stall will exhibit work produced in conjunction with carers groups throughout Greater Manchester and will also engage members of the public at the event to create new pieces of work.

And, for those who are happy to browse and just enjoy the atmosphere, there will be a range of food stalls and even a summer cocktail area to bring some extra sparkle.

Times and Dates

The market is held on 25 and 26 June between 10am and 5.30pm at St Ann's Square.
