Skyliner Tour: Women of the Arts

About

Another MIF route, developed by Skyliner. This is one that looks at the lesser-known women involved in Manchester’s art scene - taking place on Wednesday 18 September, 11am-1pm.

A spotlight on women who’ve made waves throughout arts and culture in the city, from the Industrial Revolution to today: those who bucked the trends, those who were considered controversial, those at the forefront of the city’s counterculture.

From a theatre pioneer who studied the occult to a poet whose career was kickstarted by lithium, the world-famous musician living in an inner-city squat to the woman whose death drew thousands to a local museum, Women of the Arts surveys 200 years of female contributions to the arts in Manchester. 

Tickets available online.
