Upcoming events: MMU Degree Show & Drawn Together, Drawn Apart

MMU Degree ShowIt’s that time of year again – the Manchester Metropolitan School of Art Degree Show kicks off this Friday from 5:30pm! For those of you who haven’t attended in previous years, the MMU Degree Show is probably the biggest event in the North West arts calendar, with hundreds of exhibits covering a huge range of media and disciplines, from fine art, sculpture, textiles and photography to fashion, graphic design, illustration and much much more. More information on this year’s show can be found on the MMU website. The exhibition runs from 14th – 25th June and is well worth a visit.

We’re also excited to announce the return of Drawn Together, Drawn Apart! You can get involved in this unique event, where you’ll have the opportunity to draw dancers as they perform. The show is taking place as part of Create Salford on Saturday 14th June at Digital Performance Lab – the show starts at 3.30pm and is free to attend. We’ve even had a mention on the Manchester Evening News website!

Seeing double

Hi everyone! Sorry for the radio silence over the last few weeks – we’ve been busy as little bees organising a special drawing/dance collaboration event, which you may have seen details of elsewhere on the site. More announcements will follow soon including the date of the event, which is due to take place in April. We hope you’ll be able to join us!

We’re back next week for more sketching at the usual time and place; in the meantime here’s a double helping of your pictures to make up for not posting them last time…
