Manc of the Month: Alex Reuben
Our September Manc of the Month is the owner of Contemporary Six gallery, Alex Reuben! We dropped into the gallery one day whilst strolling around the city centre, and spent time chatting to Alex and hearing about his story!
What’s on: September
Here’s our top exhibitions and art events that are on in Greater Manchester this September.
Exhibition Review: ‘Stone’ by Steve Williams
Not every artist’s story follows a ‘normal’ path, and that is the case with artist Steve Williams. Glastonbury, world famous and UK’s biggest festival, is where Steve’s art career all began. And now, 3 years later, he has a solo exhibition of his sculptures and photography work at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery!
Manc of the Month: Rachael Addis
Our August Manc of the Month is the lovely Rachael Addis! We’ve always loved Rachael’s work here at Cotton On MCR, and we’ve been lucky enough to have her work on display at our recent ‘In Manchester’ exhibition.
Exhibitions and Events in August
Here is our top picks of Exhibitions and Events happening in Greater Manchester this August.
Artist review: Stephen Snoddy
You’ll know when you see a artwork by Stephen Snoddy, he has a very distinctive style. I think it’s the mix of the bold colours and geometric shapes. But I hear you, there are lots of artists that work with bold colours and geometric shapes, but not like Stephen Snoddy does.
Coming up at Cotton On MCR
Here we run through the amazing art events we have coming up this year, from our regular workshops, to our large Art All Dayer events, including art fairs, exhibitions and more!
Manc of the Month: Jason Carr
Our July Manc of the Month is the wonderful Jason Carr! We were lucky enough to have Jason’s work on display at our recent ‘In Manchester’ exhibition at Saul Hay Gallery, and his piece ‘The Ghost of You’ was voted the public’s favourite, plus, someone form New York spotted this painting online and purchased it!
Top Art Exhibitions this July
Here we run through five of the best art exhibitions launching this July in Greater Manchester.

Exhibition Review: No Gaps in the Line
Nicola Ellis and Ritherdon & Co Ltd: ‘No Gaps in The Line’ exhibition at Castlefield Gallery. This is Nicola Ellis’ first solo exhibition, and unlike anything I’d seen before – this exhibition shows the wonderful possibilities of when art is introduced to new social contexts and produced outside of the traditional studio – read on to find out more!
Artist Interview: Martyn Lucas
Here we interview the amazing artist and curator, Martyn Lucas. Martyn is based at Cross Street Arts, Wigan, and creates paintings, collages and community projects too!
What about the Women in art? Part 2.
According to Art Net News only 13.7% of living artists represented by galleries in Europe and North America are female. This is unfortunately the sad truth and just one of the many statistics exposing the gap in gender equality within art and society.
Manc of the Month: Carlos Ferg
June’s Manc of the Month is none other than Carlos Ferg! If you came along to our own exhibition ‘In Manchester’ you may recognise Carlos’ phenomenal work, and he was crowned the winner of Best Piece competition, judged by our panel and the public too.
