Situated in the inner city near to Bridgewater Hall the Castlefield Gallery serves artists from the Greater Manchester area and the North West region.
The new gallery has forced the organisation to professionalise its practice, increasing its staffing to four, providing staff development, recruiting a solicitor and accountant to the board, and improving the standard of its publications.
The gallery does not focus on any particular geographic or social community however since re-launching it has chosen to exhibit a major exhibition dealing with immigration and asylum seekers issues, a curated exhibition by artists of ‘cultural diversity’, and a solo exhibition by a wheelchair-based artist.

Presented over two floors of the artist-run Castlefield Gallery, her UK solo début, ‘The Medium and Daybreak’, was less of a simple introduction than a mini-retrospective — a run-through of Plender’s practice, and interests, to date.
First up were her drawings: grey, spindly pencil sketches that decorate everything from posters and advertisements to the pages of her own comic book.
In the downstairs gallery Plender recreated the interior of a spiritualist church: a monument to the 1850s, when northern England was gripped by a craze for the new religion freshly imported from America — offering believers a means to communicate with the dead.
