Grosvenor Centre Manager, Ed Kennedy, said he was delighted that the exhibit was in the centre. “We really believe in being able to support a range of groups across the Macclesfield community which is one of the many reasons we’ve partnered with Macc Art Lounge,” said Ed.

“They have so many fantastic artists, displaying and creating new pieces of work and the newest display ‘This Woman’s Work’ really showcases a great range of work from four fantastic female artists. It’s great to have some of the best artistic talent in the region in the centre.”
