Studio Vacancy Opportunity with the Option to Share

Here at MCDC we pride ourselves on showcasing, selling, supporting and developing some of the most unique, talented, contemporary makers and artists in the North West. We are now looking for the next creative superstar to join our diverse, exciting and innovative team; not only expand our repertoire but to add to the beautiful wealth of handmade products we currently house inside our market building.

Do you have a head for business as well as an original talent and passion for craft and design? Do you want to sell your items in the heart of Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter? Then we want to hear from you!

Don’t worry if the idea of our spacious studio seems a little out of your reach; we’re committed to helping individuals find others to share wherever appropriate, as well as taking applications from groups,  dynamic duo’s and incredible individuals!
