What we are about

Hello and welcome to our blog, we are a group of 1st year students on the Interactive Arts course at the Manchester School of Art. This blog is to document our project to bring awareness to and save from redundency the Visual Resources Center, affectionately known as the slide library within the school of art. We will be having an exhibition on the 19th of November at the Salutation pub on campus where we will be showing work inspired by the archive, projecting images from the archive and discussing ways in which the archive can work in the future of the school of art and the city itself. Submissions we be taken from across the school of art, stay tuned for more information on this.

please visit us on Facebook and Twitter for up to date information on the project. 

The Visual Resource Centre is a valuable and unique archive of some 33,000 images of everything from past degree shows and local architecture to art history and local happenings. The library is at risk of closure and we are here to highlight why it is too important to let it go.
