"Multiculturalism is a big part of Manchester, and Chinese communities have been part of the fabric of the city since the beginning of the 20th century. The first Chinese restaurant opened as far back as 1948, and the Chinatown area is the second largest in the UK. Away from the Asian supermarkets and the steaming enticements of noodle shops, however, the CFCCA offers a culturally vital representation of modern China. Among the elegant redbrick buildings of the Northern Quarter, the CFCCA is a progressive institution specializing in the work of emerging and established modern artists. Particular importance is given to those whose work provokes questions about Chinese identity." - MATADOR_NETWORK

I went to esea contemporary to visit a multimedia art installation yesterday. I liked the vibes and easy access from the Victoria station to this place. The staff are nice and friendly and they provided information that we were asking about.

The Esea public gallery was quite snug, with welcoming staff and involved a film about fishing people and objects they've collected. That was all they had really , but it was nice to visit and it's very close to the Manchester Arndale and the makers workshop

Straight away and you are welcomed by some attentive and lovely staff that give you a great introduction to the gallery. The building is beautiful and the current exhibit by Jane Jin Kaisen is very interesting and moving.

It's tiny. Which isn't a negative thing. They totally use their space well. The staff were great and welcomed the children wonderfully. The exhibitions were labelled well, and caught our interest. Ranging from fantastical and eerie, through to downright scary... Although these will obviously change from time to time. We cannot wait to visit again and will definitely be regulars. Xxx

So lovely to return after over a decade and see it's rebranded and grown up. Excellent show today, great gallery

Would be great once the main exhibition space reopens on 23rd July - otherwise a very small gallery, interesting nonetheless, I just wish there was more!

A small but very well presented and run gallery with interesting exhibits.

A very small place, with one or two small exhibitions at a time. The best time to go is on the third Thursday of each month where the resident artist will hold an open exhibition of their work. I would go if you happen to pass by, but it's not something to plan your trip around seeing.
