From Black Gold Arts...

Since 2015, Black Gold Arts has established itself as a leading platform in the northwest for showcasing and commissioning new work by Black and global majority artists. This August 2022 we’re taking over the Whitworth, an art gallery and park which is part of The University of Manchester.

Our work has received critical national acclaim and we present work in all forms: dance, theatre, exhibitions, vogue balls, and immersive film screenings.

Since 2015, Black Gold Arts has successfully delivered 7 festivals, featuring 45 events with 100+ artists across arts venues, showcasing Black and ethnically diverse artists, and reaching an audience of over 25,000.
