Have you ever wanted to take home a piece of Queer Art?
Positivity Zone; A collaboration with MQAM

We are incredibly proud to continue our successful partnership with Manchester Queer Art Market. Over the past year, the work we’ve accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.
​
Together, we have built a more inclusive and supportive space for trans and gender-diverse creatives to thrive, championing visibility, creativity, and employability across Greater Manchester. These markets are more than just events — they are vital platforms for small businesses to showcase their work, build confidence, and connect with the wider community.
​
Our Marketplace gives community members the opportunity to purchase goods that reflect their identities, express themselves with pride, and create joyful, positive connections. It also offers our allies a way to visibly support LGBTQIA+ makers by buying unique, meaningful merchandise.
In 2024, brilliant traders such as LazyPins (The Placard People), Ben Saunders, Can Does Art, TransRebel Cowboy, Queer and Cute, AJ Lens and many more brought their creativity to the market — enriching the experience for all.
We’re thrilled to see the regular Manchester Queer Art Markets growing from strength to strength, providing vital opportunities for small businesses and helping strengthen our community.
​
We’re also proud to have supported Manchester Queer Art Market through equipment loans, financial support, and practical help to ensure their long-term success — and we’re excited to continue building on this collaboration in 2025 and beyond...
