Be Seen

BE SEEN celebrates talent from Manchester, Greater Manchester and the wider North West, creating meaningful opportunities for artists to share their work, reach new audiences, build confidence and raise their profile.

Expect a new season of exhibitions in the Granada Foundation Galleries; a programme of exhibitions and Visual Arts commissions for our HOME Arches windows; a new programme of Scratch nights designed to encourage artistic discovery and experimentation and HOME Open Rooms offering access to open rehearsals, sharings, works in progress and informal salon-style events.

The programme will also include new public-space Visual Arts commissions developed through external partnerships, alongside the continuation of Road to Edinburgh, building on the success of the first pilot in 2026 and supporting artists to take their work to wider audiences and new stages.
