Contemporary Narratives Closing Event

About this event

Come mark the closing weekend of Your Salford 100: Contemporary Narratives with an exciting day of conversation and making in our East Wing Gallery. This exhibition brings together several contemporary artists to showcase a selection of work inspired by the museum’s collection, with a particular focus on textiles and printmaking. To mirror this collaborative effort, we are delighted to present this dynamic closing event which will bring the space to life with a selection of ways to engage! The first half of the afternoon will be an hour-long gallery tour featuring six of the exhibiting artists and led by the Salford Museum Exhibition Manager, Claire Corrin. After that the artists will fill the entire gallery with live demonstrations, drop-in craft activities, and temporary extensions of the work on display. Come and screen print a tote bag, make a flip book, watch a live knitting machine demonstration, stitch a map – and more! Both the talk and all activities will be appropriate for all ages, so all are welcome. 12:00 to 1:00pm – Exhibition talk 1:00 – 3:00pm – Free, drop-in activities Everything will be FREE with no booking required.
