Before the venue opened to the public, members of the press got a sneak preview of the new gallery at an exclusive media event. Journalists, bloggers and photographers were treated to an evening of art and cocktail pairing where they sampled six bespoke cocktails inspired by this year’s hottest contemporary artists, before taking home a goodie bag complete with custom-made gift. As Castle Fine Art’s flagship
gallery for the north, the newest addition to Manchester’s art scene sees contemporary meet classic in a gallery setting. The historic, Grade II listed building is home to 4,000 sq ft of retail space over two floors, with traditional features mixed with quirky design elements. A state of the art lighting system complements the wide range of artwork on display, while
two specially designed viewing rooms have been created to make customers feel as at ease as they would in their own home. Visitors to the gallery can expect a welcoming environment to enjoy art, with the Manchester team hosting an exciting programme of exhibitions and events year round.
