Creative Connections 214 January - 18 February 2017

Welcome to the latest exhibition of a unique arts programme for Halton primary schools linked to the development of the new Mersey Gateway. Over the last term six primary schools have been working with artists to create exciting new work in film, relief sculpture, willow and book art.

Come along and see what the children of Halton have been up to, to celebrate the Mersey Gateway project.

This programme is supported by funding from Accent Music Education Hub and their Arts & Cultural Education Commission, and Merseylink.

Auto Agents4th March - 15th April 2017

Auto Agents is an exhibition curated by the AaA collective, a group of five people with learning disabilities. It explores what it means to be independent by making your own decisions, which comes from the collective’s personal knowledge and experiences around the continued lack of choice and control many people with learning disabilities face.

Auto Agents features new commissions by artists from The Royal Standard studio in Liverpool. This includes an interactive artwork by James Harper that sees audiences controlling a sculpture through various independent mechanisms, as well as a limited edition book designed by Mark Simmonds and work from London based artist Alaena Turner.

Culture Shifts 1 July - 2 September 2017 Culture Shifts is a new and exciting socially engaged photography programme, working with 10 national and international photographers embedded in communities across 7 areas of the Liverpool City Region. It aims to support communities to explore their stories in a way that is meaningful to them. Working with photographers Gary Bratchford and Robert Parkinson, communities across Halton CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) are exploring barriers to health and wellbeing, and how photography can challenge pre-existing ideas and fears to exploring this topic. A selection of all work created across the Liverpool City Region will culminate in a Culture Shifts exhibition at Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool, in September 2017, which will also celebrate the partnerships across the City Region and the power of photography to creatively engage us all.
