Alright, be honest: what good are the arts? What do they mean? What are they for? Do you and your community need the arts – or want them?

Chloe Barlow and Josh Wilkinson, aka North Manchester theatre duo Malandra Jacks, will be posing such provocative questions for Festival in My House… And Yours – and they’re enlisting fellow artists and residents of Moston and Harpurhey to help them find some answers. Streaming live on MIF’s YouTube channel, Arty Farty is both a celebration and a satire on all things arty – and an exploration of the challenges and barriers faced by working-class artists looking to build a career in the arts.

Arty Farty is the latest instalment in our monthly series of micro-international festivals created and streamed from home by Greater Manchester artists. Everyone’s welcome and it’s all free. Join us!

Supported and presented by Manchester International Festival.
