The Manchester Contemporary Art Fund Supports Grayson's Art Club at Manchester Art Gallery

With the fair unable to run during the pandemic, the Art Fund was still able to support art in the North. Instead of buying work from the fair, the fund instead sponsored Grayson's Art Club at Manchester Art Gallery.

The exhibition featured works selected by artist Grayson Perry during Grayson’s Art Club, the popular Channel 4 TV series. All the works on show are very personal visual representations of lockdown, made by the public, well-known artists and celebrities.

Thom Hetherington, CEO of The Manchester Contemporary, said, “Although the fund was initially established to acquire works for public institutions these are unprecedented times, so we remained open to new opportunities which remained true to our ethos of supporting artists and galleries, and ensuring people in the North had access to world class contemporary art. When we heard about the investment required to ensure that Grayson Perry’s Art Club could be delivered within the city we spoke to the members and they were in instant agreement that we should support it.”
