“it is an expression of emotions and soul – always with a unique story in its making” | MANCHESTER

L-R: Barbara, Kate, Andrew, Ushiku and Cara at the exhibition

An article by Richard Morris (ex Manchester Finest Arts & Culture journalist) was written to coincide with a month-long exhibition at 53two in Manchester to celebrate the end of year two of the Arts & Health Hub Support Hub and five artists it supported based in Manchester.

“That hub professes ‘a place for artists exploring health and wellbeing to connect, learn and share.’ An inclusive hub that recognises the power of art that is at everybody’s fingertips whatever their circumstances. My own interest in outsider art is that it produces beautiful and intriguing work not restricted by conventional boundaries. Rather it is an expression of emotions and soul – always with a unique story in its making.”
