• Qu;escence - a solo exhibition by •

Quiescence refers to a state of quietness, temporary inactivity, or rest. This condition mirrors the process of painting itself; a state of latency, suspension and contained potential. Ideas do not always emerge fully formed; instead they gather slowly, often beneath the surface of conscious thought, waiting for the right conditions to flourish.

Jamie’s work will be on show on show until the end of August, with the private view on Friday 7th, 6-9.

Free entry, RSVP by link in bio!

100 years of Salford. 5 years of Divided Culture Co.

We’re proud to announce ’s 5:100 micro-festival coming to SEESAW this month, a joint celebration of their fifth birthday and the centenary of the city where it all began. This marks the end of our CUSP residency with them and the start of a new strategy in 2027!

We’ve got so much we’re excited to share with you:

CREATE - an interactive installation invites attendees to share their own stories of Salford. Tell us what the city means to you, and see your own experiences form part of our tribute to Salford and its citizens.

DISCOVER - we’ve partnered with some incredible artists to bring the UK’s most innovative contemporary theatre to you! Come and witness the amazing work of Maddie Maycock, Jess Gough, Chris Richards, and Jake Rayner Blair as we stage three stunning works exploring the relationship between body and being.

NETWORK - a creative mixer will unite artists, directors and producers from across Salford and Greater Manchester, bringing together the legacies of longtime industry leadership and the area’s newest and most innovative artistic voices. Join us to celebrate the local arts and culture scene - and meet your next creative partners!
