Touchstones Rochdale is excited to present a new exhibition, A Tall Order! – Rochdale in the 1980s (4 February – 7 May 2023).
In the 1980s, Touchstones was known as Rochdale Art Gallery. Its daring and innovative approach to exhibition and education programming positioned it on the national map. Led by Exhibition Officer, Jill Morgan, the focus on exhibiting artists engaged in critical and socio-political practice gave a platform to those who were not being offered the opportunity to show their work in other high profile institutions.
A Tall Order! is an invigorating look at the artwork made and exhibited here during the 1980s by a generation of artists, many of whom were women, young, working class and Black.

Who they are looking for?
They are seeking a freelance creative/artist to develop and create content relating to our forthcoming exhibition. The selected artist will produce an educational resource for children, young people and their families that encourages visitors to get involved in a variety of self-guided creative activities in our gallery spaces.
The resource will include four artist profiles including information related to key artworks featured in the exhibition and four paper activity sheets. The creative resource must be engaging, imaginative and should take an informal approach to learning.
