About This Event

Join 1838 Collective at Sandbar to celebrate the new cohort of MA and MFA graduates from Manchester School of Art. Join us for our next Artist Social at Sandbar! Our socials are a relaxed, informal meet-up aimed at connecting visual artists in Greater Manchester. On this occasion, we’d love to celebrate the new cohort of MA and MFA students from Manchester School of Art (where 1838 started)! If you do painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, photography, video, image, filmmaking, design, or crafts —> this is the place for you! These events are donation-based. As a not-for-profit, every penny goes back into our programme. We really appreciate your donations; they help us connect and create opportunities for emerging artists, and keep doing what we love. 🫶 New to the 1838 Collective? Feel free to come along and make new connections. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you feel unsure or would like a buddy for the event. Drop us a message on Instagram @1838_collective if you have any questions, or email 1838collective@gmail.com. We aim to run artist socials once a month, alternating between Salford and Manchester City Centre; so keep your eyes peeled, or subscribe to our newsletter! 🗓️ Tuesday 29th September 2026 ⏰ 8pm until 11pm 📍 Sandbar, Manchester To help us regulate numbers, please book a ticket to attend, and cancel if you can no longer make it.
