An artist sold a piece on @_easelart for well over £1,500 this weekend. You can buy original pieces at all prices of course, but I'm bloody proud we've found a way to connect art lovers and artists during a period when galleries are closed and art fairs can't run. Art is viable.
This is Easel, by @McrArtFair. I'm so proud of this. A new, online art buying platform, supporting artists and galleries, straight out of Manchester. Do share, and do subscribe.
As GM Tier Member and the team behind @NRBManchester, @McrArtFair, and @McrContemporary, we are uniquely placed to be an advocate for hospitality, culture, and business events. We're proud to help navigate through the current crisis and build a path towards recovery
Today we launched Greater Manchester’s Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Support and Recovery Plan to help the sector navigate through lockdown and rebuild to recovery.

I'm so proud of this: We run @NRBManchester; NRB Top 50; NRB Debate; NRB Future; @McrArtFair; @McrContemporary; @McrContemporary Art Fund; plus now, post-Covid, @_easelart; @Salon_Hang; NRB Play. Six staff, two freelancers, one dog; mostly part time, but with balance and passion.
The last 6mths have been gruelling for everyone, not least my team, who run major events for hospitality and art. But until NRB/Manchester Art Fair/The Manchester Contemporary return we have been BUSY. The entrepreneurial path from necessity to invention is as thrilling as ever.
Massive news for culture and the arts. We're not saved but now we have a chance to survive. Hospitality and culture have both fought incredible and rightful battles for support. The missing link, vital but invisible thus far, is the events industry. It ties *everything* together.
The formidable @HoldenMedia team pull all of @NRBManchester together, but the people hosting its theatres/events create their own centres of gravity on site. Proud NRB is a platform for the talent & passion of @ChefBrianMellor@DrinksEnthusist@tomhigham @Lucinoone7 @CazDyerlogue

Following on from #Thormgate at the @MFDF19 awards: We use the talented @SaraPorterPhoto to shoot @McrArtFair@McrContemporary and @nrbmanchester, but clearly we're not keeping her busy enough... Thanks for this Sara, I remember having hair like that at Uni in the 90s! #IAMTHORM
It appears, possibly due to an administrative error, that I've won the @mfdf2019 Outstanding Achievement Award. I'm gobsmacked and grateful to say the least. I couldn't have done it without my family, friends, Team @NRBManchester. It's been a tough year, and this means so much.
We've been shortlisted! @NRBManchester @McrArtFair@McrContemporary have been shortlisted for Best Marketing Campaign, Best Brand Expansion, Best Consumer Show and Indy Organiser Team of the Year in the @ExhibitionNews Indy Awards https://t.co/y2cx4xiyZV
