Fuzzy Memories is an exhibition of work made by artists from Manchester’s Rogue Artists’ Studios, selected and curated by Florian Houlker.

This exhibition invites artists to reflect on memory as an unstable, emotional space-one that is blurred, fragmented, and often contradictory. The word fuzzy suggests softness and warmth, but also distortion, gaps, and uncertainty. Memories can feel safe yet unreliable, comforting yet fractured. This exhibition explores how personal history, lived experience, and artistic practice resurface through nostalgia and recall.

Please join us to celebrate the opening of this exhibition on Thursday 26th March from 5-8pm 🥳

The exhibition continues from 27th March-24th April.

Please join us Thursday 26th from 5-7pm in Hanover Project for the opening night of Reconstruction Reoccurrence a solo exhibition by Matthew Livesey.

Livesey is a polyvalent artist exploring the theme of identity, often through the lens of spiritual rhetoric. By playfully using text as form, utilising installation, and encouraging participation in his art, he aims to challenge the hold that doctrines, such as religion, can have over individual personage.

The exhibition continues until the 19th March and is viewable by appointment DM@hanoverproject Monday - Thursday 10-4. We are situated at the front of Hanover Building.

We are pleased to present ‘When you Read this Smile’ an exhibition of work made by BTEC Art and Design students from Blackpool 6th Form College. The title of the exhibition takes its name from the work of exhibiting student Faye Faircloth.

The selection of work presented was made by Paulette Terry Brien the Curator of Grundy Art Gallery and Garth Gratrix co-director of Abingdon Studios in Blackpool. In their respective roles they are pivotal in developing opportunities for emerging artists.

Paulette and Garth spent a day looking at and discussing the students work with them. The result is this exhibition of work demonstrative of the exciting young talent being nurtured in Blackpool.

Thanks to all the participating artists, we look forward to welcoming you again in Preston.
