Who We Are

No other English city-region equals Greater Manchester for sheer scale, diversity and renown of the arts and culture on offer.

As the audience development agency for Greater Manchester, Arts About Manchester supports arts and cultural organisations in building and sustaining their audiences. 

We are a membership organisation who acts as a central point of contact for the local arts community as well as an important research and intelligence resource. Our expertise in audience development and arts marketing also means that we work with non-members at both regional and national level.

“… a fantastic organisation full of ideas, full of creatively brilliant marketing and audience development people, running a huge range of services and activities from the very tactical end of the spectrum to the strategic – and everything in between!”
Alex Saint, Consultant and former Director of AAM
