Description

Upper Campfield Market Hall in Castlefield in Manchester city centre is a Victorian market hall and listed building, providing an impressive location for the British Art Show 4’s 1995 touring exhibition. In this record of the event, visitors look at the diverse and sometimes frank artworks on display and give their opinions on these, and on the merits of using such a location for the show. There are also workshops and events held for adults and schoolchildren, enabling them to provide their own artistic responses to what they have seen.
