offer — art-in.

what is art-in. ?

art-in. is an initiative set up by artist Emma Rushton in Manchester to support working artists.

Firstly - as an artist run space - it is open to ideas: a potential exhibition or meeting space; a space for discussion; presentation; education; making.

Secondly, art-in. offers artworks made, selected, or commissioned specifically for a place or context.

art-in. is here to protest the idea that only an elite can afford to have original, challenging, contemporary art, and engage. with working artists.

Art-in. aims to expand perceptions of what kind of art can be placed within domestic and small commercial spaces - bringing contemporary art that is more than decoration into homes and other spaces - and challenge the notion that visual art by living artists is only affordable to an elite.

in interesting spaces.

And to get artists paid.
