Chinese Arts Centre

On October 4th 2007 we sponsored the Chinese Arts Centre’s 21st birthday and our own resident Chinese chef (Robert Gong) cooked up the authentic dim sum.

The Chinese Arts Centre was established in 1986 by a group of British Chinese artists based in Manchester.  The orginal centre was based in Chinatown, and was financially supported by Manchester City Council and Arts Council England. Today the gallery can be found in the Northern Quarter, its a magnificent space and includes an artist residency studio and apartment, an education suite, resource area, offices, shop and teahouse.    To celebrate their 21st birthday they showcased a fantastic exhibition; Boutique.
