Last friday we had two exhibition launches;
The first launch was for an exhibition called ‘A River Runs Through’, which consists of work created by local artists Paul Hamilton and Maureen Neill with pupils from 9 local schools, who each interpreted the theme taking inspiration from The River Irwell and from other countries they were studying as part of their school curriculum work. The work was funded by Irwell Education Improvement Partnership.
St Philips school came and sang some songs to open the exhibition, and then took part in a quiz we had arranged for them.
The exhibition can be viewed at Chapel Gallery, Chapel St and Hope United Reformed Church, Lamb Court, M3 6AF, 11-2pm on any Thursday in October.
Later on that day, we launched the Streets Museum exhibition, which shows people’s memories and photographs of Salford Streets that were demolished in the 1950′s and 60′s. Tha Chapel St Choir came and sang a couple of songs and then we all had a good natter.
The streets Museum exhibition can also be viewed 12 – 2pm on any Thursday for the next 6 months at Chapel Gallery, Lamb Court M3 6AF. We hope to secure some funding to create new work for the exhibition over the coming months.
