I loved visiting Manchester Art Gallery when I was living there. That gallery with the opportunity for visitors to draw is really lovely.

Visited Being Here by Barbara Walker at @arnolfiniarts.bsky.social today. Wow, what
powerful works, beautiful in execution but also unsettling and definitely thought-provoking. Brilliant show πŸ‘

I've just been to two brilliant shows, which just opened at the Royal West of England Academy, including one on Paule VΓ©zelayβ€”an artist I (shamefully) didn’t know before. Painter, sculptor, textile artist, war artistβ€” what didn't she do? Such a creative force.

Yep, that was one of my takeaways, along with the informality within the sector provides even more opportunities for those with existing connections to succeed. It's who you know.
