Bridget Riley, Zephyr, 1976

Manchester Art Gallery is a civic institution that belongs to and works for its people, to help make a city worth living in. This was the original idea that inspired the thinkers and doers of Manchester back in the 1800s, offering their subscriptions to get the gallery on Mosley Street built, and subsequently maintained as the centre of human activity through generations of patrons.

We are hugely grateful for their support and for the patrons who continue this work today, enabling the incredible work of the team who bring the art to life in programmes of education, health and social cohesion that are there for the widest benefit of all.

Our Bicentenary

Embarking on the next two hundred years, we are seeking new generations of patrons to bring our mission to full fruition – fellow travellers who see art not just as individual expression, but communal contribution to a life well lived.
