<div><strong>Bankley Studios &amp; Gallery, one of Manchester’s longest-running creative spaces, is facing an uncertain future.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A longstanding feature of the Levenshulme area</strong>, its loss would be a blow to the local community. <strong>Run entirely by volunteers through a cooperative structure</strong>, Bankley currently offers a regular programme of <strong>free exhibitions and creative events</strong> for members of the public.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our artist community has been in our building for <strong>almost 35 years</strong>, and is a well-loved part of the Manchester creative scene. We currently have <strong>37 artists</strong> working out of the building - making work from installation, sculpture and painting to printmaking and photography (and everything in between).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The programmed exhibitions in our gallery have showcased creatives from around the world; we provide an affordable white-wall space which is regularly hired by<strong> students and emerging artists</strong> and our most recent Bankley Open show in October 2025 was a resounding success.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, however, <strong>we face the serious possibility of eviction. This would be the end of our artist community and a loss of independent, artist-led space within Manchester. </strong>It would mean the loss of a free public gallery within a vibrant and creative local neighbourhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We now face a period of <strong>expensive legal action</strong> <strong>and other costs</strong> (physical surveys and works) as we work to stay here. <strong>We hope to find a negotiated solution which allows us to be part of our building's long term future.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you work in the arts, enjoy the arts, value</strong> <strong>the idea of creative community, appreciate what arts and culture brings to a local community or have ever visited a Bankley exhibition or Open Studios in our 30+ years in Levenshulme, please contribute to our fundraiser and help us ensure our future. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>AND PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!</strong>
