Curating progressive visual art exhibitions depicting experiences of mental health illness. To push the boundaries of artistic communication / expression. And to create an experimental, ambitious space where we feel safe to explore our madness.

You can support my friend and queer, disabled artist Lizz Brady here. She's also accepting commisions for a limited time if you want a portrait of your partner, little dudes, or pet in time for Christmas at an accessible price. Check out her tl.
You can support me here ko-fi.com/lizzbrady

Any help is very appreciated and goes to good use. Please share and repost.

Was in a nasty depressive hole over the weekend.

Then lots of work done, a funding rejection (not ACE) some dog walks, a 3.45am start due to not being able to sleep, lots of anxiety and overwhelm due to bank charges, texts and panic for being £10 overdrawn... *rolls eyes in pissed off frustration*

Please share, support our organisational development.

Big news to come over the next few weeks, info about how we will be working to support and encourage artists facing barriers in the north west.

We're ambitious and pissed off. Which is a good combo right now 😌

Also...I’ve got some availability for mentoring & access support clients!

I support artists & organisations to think about access, disability inclusion & radical curation.

If you’re in the arts & need some guidance, I’d love to help.

⭐ We are selling our remaining exhibition catalogues. Uniquely designed, printed and collated.

The catalogue includes curator notes, a beautiful text by Graham Brittain, our favourite Mary Oliver poem and a personal statement about the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

A gorgeous walk yesterday with my mum, Bronze and Meg. Still tired today. But back to reality now, financial panic, working hard, meetings and some cleaning.

Tried to draw Jackson last night and he kept walking on the page so I kept drawing around his teeny feet :)

How is everyone today?

Morning, let’s hope today is more positive. Lots to do — admin, mentoring, access support, and walking Bronze

Meant to go to a gallery meeting but not sure I’ve got enough petrol to make it back…the joys of low income

Just got called a fat c_nt by a man in a van because I refused to move when it was my right of way.

He said 'move woman fuck sake. You shouldn't be driving you fat c_nt'

I wish his misogynistic vile unsurprising outburst didn't affect me. But I sat crying in the carpark for 30 mins.

Some mono prints last night to stave off anxiety. Took myself to the Bitter End Café for a brew, even though i desperately wanted a bevvy.

The house scenes are pics taken when i'm stood in the back alley taking Bronze for a wee

Monos are for sale 💰

👀 A new board member??

Please welcome Fauziya Johnson to the team! 🔥

I first discovered the work of Fauziya when I found Rooted Zine (a North-West based zine and online platform for creative people of colour founded alongside artist Amber Akaunu)
