Connect artists with curators and exhibition spaces.

Gallery conversation between artist and curator

If you're an artist looking to show your work, or a curator seeking artists for an exhibition, MCR.CITY can help connect you. The platform indexes artists and curators in Manchester, and exhibition spaces looking for work. You can browse profiles and get in touch directly.

Galleries and exhibition spaces can list what they're looking for - whether that's established painters, emerging sculptors, collaborative groups, or experimental practice. Artists can create profiles showing their work, practice, and availability. The matching happens through browsing and direct contact.

The directory approach works because it's specific to Manchester - you're connecting with people who know the local scene. Many exhibitions start through conversations that begin with profile browsing or introduction through the platform. Getting your profile up means curators and other artists can find you.
