Current Exhibitions
There's much to explore in our current exhibition programme.
This spring sees the opening of Shirley Craven, an exhibition of vivid, colour-filled textiles by this post-war designer. The Whitworth is home to over 80 of Craven's bold abstract textiles, displayed together for the first time in over 60 years alongside newly acquired unique works from her days as a Student at the RCA. Everyday Art School, offers us a space full of ideas to bring art into your everyday life and rethink how we use it. This is not an exhibition, it’s a work in progress. Our exhibion Traces of Displacement addresses one of the major humanitarian concerns of the 20th and 21st centuries – forced displacement. And we continue to explore Exchanges, with a display of vibrant display of new art and textiles from the Whitworth’s collection.
