Highlights from Stockport Town of Culture: creative commissions
Friday 23 February to Thursday 4 April 2024
This exhibition is presented by Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery and Stockport Town of Culture.
From art workshops to songs developed about Stockport, hosted from Brinnington to Bramhall, a diverse range of projects has received funding to celebrate and develop the culture and talent on offer across the whole borough.
There are four key pillars of the Town of Culture programme: Stockport Moves, Makes, Sounds and Tastes.
This exhibition brings together examples of some of the Creative Commissions that received funding in this phase. These include:
- the exploration of the history of Vernon Mill through song, theatre and art
- embroidered images of Stockport
- SKlight Young Makers artwork
- an innovative project to create art from discarded wheel trims found in Stockport
