Since 2017, Broken Grey Wires has curated high quality art exhibitions within institutions across the UK, working with critically acclaimed artists such as Turner Prize winners Martin Creed and Gillian Wearing. They have also created opportunities for emerging artists to push their practice and develop new ideas.
They have ambitious plans to become a dedicated centre of support for local artists and visiting artists in the North-West.
Having the opportunity to design our physical base in the city is a huge positive step for BGW. One that will result in better care and more creativity in the area. We hope to see the local area flourish and to focus on developing a positive rhetoric for mental health conversations.
Their proposal for the city centre space has already been accepted by the landlord, and we now need some help to making this a fully reality.
Funds raised during this Crowdfunder will go towards setting up the gallery, studio, Comfort Zone and toolkit station. It will enable them to purchase materials, and pay for technicians to support the building works.
They will have one major exhibition per year, to start off. A theme will be decided (a strand of mental health) and their exhibition will be similar to how we have worked previously…showing radical, experimental, ambitious artwork from leading artists.
During other months of the year, we will have film screenings, create a space for new artwork experimentations, and community projects.
They will offer regular creative workshops, collaborating with diverse exciting leaders within their sector. They will ask for your input in deciding these workshops, tell us what you want to learn and we will make sure we find great people to help you!
shhhhhh…Sneak peek at some future plans!
