Windows across the city have been transformed as part of Wild In Art’s latest exhibition, Windows of Youth Creativity - We Made it. Making up a trail are ten exhibits, from an underwater sea scene at the Town Hall Annex to a photography display at the National Football Museum.
The trail is part of Our Year 2022, a project commissioned by Manchester City Council which celebrates children and young people across Manchester through a year-long programme of activities, events and more. The displays showcase artwork from young people across the city.
Wild In Art have previously produced the award-winning Bee in the City art trail and 50 Windows of Creativity. You can follow the trail as whole which takes you all over the city or you can look out for the displays as you do your Christmas shopping.

At Central Library there’s a 55 inch screen showcasing artwork created by children and young people living in Manchester which is updated fortnightly. You can see two installations at the Town Hall Annex near Manchester Cenotaph; one which features coral beds and mosaic sea creatures made by SEND pupils at Royal Manchester (Seashell Trust), while a second is a showcase of costumes made for the Moss Side Carnival Parade made by the Claremont Troupes.
You can catch a display of photographs at the National Football Museum, taken by young people living in East Manchester, who were invited by photographer Simon Bray to look at themes including family, hopes and fears. The photos document their daily lives and communities admit the redevelopment of their area.
On King Street there’s a dual display, in the left window is “Manifesto” by St Peter’s High School Young Carers & Manchester Street Poem, while in the right window is an exhibition of work submitted by young people for the 2022 Our Year competition run by Connell Co-op College.
At the Science and Industry museum you can see 6ft tall robot sculptures made from waste electrical and electronic equipment. There are also displays to check out on York Street, the Royal Exchange Theatre; the Horsfall Gallery, 42nd Street; Mayfield Park; The Proud Trust, Sidney Street, and HOME.
The trail is on until November 27. A map of all the artworks can be found here.
