Do you live anywhere near Manchester?

Your first street art gallery is opening!
"[Upper Space is] situated in the heart of the Northern Quarter in Manchester city centre, the gallery space will give local Street artists as well as national and international artists the opportunity to gain exposure and experience by showcasing their work to the public.
The ethos behind the gallery is the same as our monthly Sketch City event held at the Contact Theatre, we are all about inclusivity and promoting art as a positive form of expression, we aim to provide street artists and illustrators with a safe environment to create work for exhibitions and show the public the art forms that rarely get the chance to be seen in Manchester. This is mirrored by our commission rates as well which are considerably lower than other galleries. If you are an artist and want to get involved, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Major thanks to all those that came down and lent a hand,
Sketch City"
They're having their gallery opening party on February 29th with live art featuring the work of 8bit, Benjamino, Bollops, Dist, Hammo, Inka, John Burgerman, Laurie Pink, Lispensie, Pavi, Tank Patrol, Sri Mckinnon, Toypaper.
