Manchester Independents
Throughout the pandemic, Greater Manchester’s artists, creatives and cultural organisations, working with Marketing Manchester, have, and continue, to come together to create new work both live and online. As the world begins to reopen, Manchester Independents aims to support, celebrate and cast a spotlight on that work in a 5 month long growing roster of projects, events, performances, exhibitions - a snapshot of the creativity of the city region’s independent artists.

Submissions for Manchester Independents '21 have now closed, but watch this space for a '23 edition. In the meantime, if you would like support with your project in Greater Manchester, the Greater Manchester Artist Hub might be able to offer help in the form of free advisory sessions and workshops.
"The range and quality of independent arts across Greater Manchester creates a unique creative ecology that is important both locally and nationally. That is why it is a joy to see many of the individuals and organisations that make up this ecology working together to make and present an exciting programme of artists led work which is a testament to their resilience and creativity."
- Dave Moutrey, Director of Culture
