On Saturday 18 June 2022, Art Fund, a collective of Manchester’s leading arts organisations presented a one-day festival, Art Assembly 2022 – City as Art School. The event celebrated the idea of the city as an art school and championing culture as part of educational experiences for all people.
The festival advocating art and creativity is organised by Art Fund with Manchester Art Gallery, Castlefield Gallery, HOME, the Whitworth and The Manchester College. It presented newly co-commissioned and co-created artworks and installations across the city, from established arts venues, busy squares and streets to billboards, pavements and more. Manchester College Visual Arts students collaborated with established artists to create work for the festival & also showcased student work from across all of Visual Arts at the Shena Simon Campus.
