Macclesfield Community ArtSpace

Macclesfield Community ArtSpace A Space for Art for the Macclesfield community. Adult workshops & drop ins, kids activities & events. SK11 7JB

Artspace is a charity based in Macclesfield.

Based at Sutton Mill, Heapy Street/Gunco Lane, Macclesfield. We set up Artspace to provide the people of Macclesfield and surrounding area with a community arts organisation. It is based primarily on the provision of a workshop that people can use to make their community arts ideas happen. We have a large space on the top floor of an old mill:

it comprises a large open area to build objects such

as carnival floats or to do group activities; smaller areas for making art and crafting, woodworking and metalworking; storage for all of the materials that we collect from local industry and recycle into the things that we make; a sewing room complete with good quality up to date domestic machines and industrial sewing machine and overlocker and a quiet space complete with a small table. It is open to just drop in and spaces are also available to rent for workshops. We also run workshops for individuals to book or for community groups. Keep an eye on our page for the latest activities. For more details, email our new part time co-ordinator Jane Griffiths at [email protected] or [email protected] or phone 01625 440694 ( you can leave a message)

The time has come - let's start planning, dreaming and creating for the 1261 Town Parade.

📽️This year's theme is FILMS 🎥

ArtSpace is commissioned by Macclesfield Town Council to organise the parade taking place on 20th June and we cannot wait to get creative and covered in paint.

Are you part of a local group? Would you like to join our parade as an individual? Get in touch by contacting [email protected] and let's start brainstorming what FILM you'd like to represent. ArtSpace offers free workshops to help with props, floats, banners etc.

We encourage schools, kids clubs, various local organisations, local businesses and all people who want to celebrate local community to join in the parade. Feel free to tag groups you think might be interested in the comments.
