The Northern Quarter has a brand new artist’ hub and is opening it’s doors to the public this Thursday.
Up on the fifth floor of Hilton House is The Penthouse, a new artist’s work space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. The brainchild of artists Rosanne Robertson and Debbie Sharp, The Penthouse will offer artists access to their free contemporary, constantly-building art library including a sound art archive which will be added to fortnightly. It will also has project space and residency opportunities.
The Penthouse aims to maintain a rough ‘hands on’ approach to making and sharing contemporary art- seeing artists getting their hands dirty with materials and heads dirty with ideas.
