Founded in 2006, TRS has thrived on the hard work and dedication of our community of artists, curators and volunteers, helping establish us as one of the oldest and largest artist-led gallery and studios regionally, with both national and international recognition.

Fundraising and development

TRS has over the course of the last two decades established itself as an integral part of art landscape in the North West but it is up to the Artist Leads to explore opportunities to grow our organisation and connections, regionally, nationally and internationally.
