Exhibitions in Manchester and the North
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorWe’ve got intricate textiles, a festival inspired by a medieval poem and a touring show with musings from early career artists – how good does that sound?
This month is bringing art treats all over the North, starting with Igshaan Adams: Weehoud at the Hepworth Wakefield. Wirral’s Williamson Gallery Welcomes Into The Wyld, a contemporary arts festival from artist collective Material Matters. It consists of a series of exhibitions and satellite events, all of which are related to the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. October will see the return of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair at Victoria Baths. At the Manchester Craft and Design Centre you’ll find earth to heart, an exhibition of ceramics from Lily Brown and artist duo Imprints of Earth.
We have group shows too: while Sheffield’s Site Gallery welcomes the touring show Jerwood Survey III, in Leeds’ Hyde Park Book Club, we have Is This What We Have Left? with works considering the loss of arts spaces in cities, from Kate O’Neill, Marta Dyczkowska and James Thompson.
