About Smolensky gallery

Irreverent. Independent. Unapologetically Northern. 

We are about Art for the Many, not Art for the Money. Our goal: Making Art Accessible. First time buyers, new collectors, those curious about the arts world. If you are looking for a gallery with direct links to artists’ studios and big-time collectors - we are looking for you.

By bringing in blue-chip and emerging artists, we bridge the gap between the establishment and you. Breaking the machine from the inside out. We platform new and exciting artists - from Manchester, the North-West, the UK, the World - putting their art into conversation with the big names. Sure, we can find you a Banksy, but we can also connect you with rising stars.

On top of all this, we offer a tailored art advisory service for those seeking guidance – whether they are first-time buyers or serious collectors.  Our team of experienced advisers work closely with clients to understand their collections, offering them the insight and tools they need to make informed acquisitions. We also offer provenance tracking and collection support to ensure transparency and confidence for collectors. 

We’re Disruptors. We don’t Curate; We Agitate. Exhibitions, bringing together the local and the international, get to the heart of the question: What is Manchester? And what could it be?

Manchester lives and breathes culture – its art is everywhere – we want to bring you on board.

So, join us and find an exciting, enriching, and explosive way into the art world. Find the art of your dreams, your nightmares, your future, today.
