PLEASE NOTE, THIS HAS NOW FINISHED, SEE THE GALLERY SECTION FOR MORE IMAGES
OUR THANKS TO ALL THE VENUES BELOW FOR HOSTING THE PROJECT. The exhibition is taking place across the 6 of the 7 geographic areas of Manchester covered by CN4M: Central, North, East, Ardwick/Longsight/Levenshulme, South Central and Wythenshawe. The work is seen in a variety of places where regeneration work has taken place, taking us to just a handful of the many hundreds of community facilities that operate around Manchester, from the historic town hall out to flagship award winning buildings, church halls and converted schools. In traversing the city via these places to see the art work, the story emerges of community development work and the regeneration industry through the architecture of its buildings.....here the venues are shown in order of the circular route.
 | Manchester Town Hall
Albert Square M60 2LA open every day 9-5pm
A supreme example of craftmanship at it's very best, today the Town Hall Complex, which comprises of the Town Hall and the Town Hall Extension, are popular tourist attractions. The complex is not only the seat of local government in Manchester, it is also an emblem of civic pride and the face of Manchester City Council. Even today it is still a centre of office administration, with around 3,500 staff working there.
The artwork by Hafsah Naib is on display in the sculpture hall entered via Albert Square. | The Waterloo Centre
389 Waterloo Road M8 9AB mon-fri 9-5
The Waterloo Centre was previously a British Legion building. It is now a community based resource centre entirely sustained by the the procurement of a range of learning and employment contracts. Its core ideal is the capacity building of local voluntary groups and the up skilling of local people. We work particularly (but not exclusively) those from minority ethnic communities, disabled people and women. The organisations based at the centre deliver in partnerships with statutory and voluntary organisations and agencies.
The art work, a film by Jo Lewington is on display in the entrance to the building.

William Titley’s work is on display in the foyer. | The Angels Centre Endcott Close M18 8BR mon-fri 9-5
“The Angels is not so much a community centre as a centre of community. Though it started out as the community wing of the Monastery of St. Francis and Gorton Trust and continues to house the Gorton Visual Art Group art-rooms, the Angels has experienced a number of transitions over recent years. The centre is home to the Sure Start Crèche and East Education team as Angels tenants serving young people in the local area, while the Probation run Wednesday and Sunday Luncheon Clubs serving older local people”.
