50 Windows of Creativity Is an Inspiring Way to Explore Manchester This Autumn

50 Windows of Creativity is an inspiring way to explore Manchester this autumn.

Created by the team behind the award-winning Trail Map Bee in the City event, 50 Windows of Creativity has transformed the city’s windows and spaces into an 26 Oct – 5 Dec 2020 innovative art gallery which takes you on a creative journey around the city centre. The displays are unique, intriguing and thought- provoking and feature multiple art forms, from fine art and photography to ceramics, crafts, mosaics and murals - all curated by talented artists, designers, makers and collectives with a connection to Greater Manchester. All pieces on display will be available to buy directly from the artist or maker so it’s a great opportunity to own a stunning piece of art or find unique gifts for friends and family. The project culminates with an auction on 10 December 2020 which will see a selection of pieces auctioned with proceeds going to their artists and makers, and to The Lord Mayor of Manchester Charity Appeal Trust - We Love MCR Charity (registered charity number 1066972) which supports disadvantaged communities and individuals to be the best they can be.
