I’m so proud!! It’s been such an incredible journey for neurodivergent artists in Manchester over the past 10 years… artists are achieving incredible artworld firsts and leading the way in creating a more equitable cultural landscape! Thank you @ManCityCouncil and @ace_thenorth

I was as underwhelmed (putting it politely) as can probably be expected from the Labour campaign and result but I have to admit a couple of these appointments have piqued my interest…
Great to host 30 brilliant young leaders @WhitworthArt this morning. For the @BritishCouncil 90th Anniversary, they’re hosting 90 Youth Voices for the Future, bringing international young leaders to the UK to focus on young people's role in shaping their communities' future 🙌
👏🎉👏
‘The brief gave purpose to the task and asked children to use their imagination. Hearing their (environmental) messages was really inspiring too.’ Lovely to welcome @CrabLanePrimary today for our Change-makers ‘Climate’ sessions led by @byhathaikan V impressed by all the kids!
9 year old with autism and gaming obsession absolutely loved Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture garden. Honest.
