The MACC / LEEDS Trans-Pennine Art Expedition aims to test and celebrate the collective co-operation and creative dexterity of selected artists originating/operating from Macclesfield, Cheshire.

The North is a small place. Though we celebrate an ability to be mobile and communicate easily trans-Pennine, exhibiting work collectively elsewhere may be rare.

Macclesfield is also a small place.
A bizarre, somewhat miserable, amusing, grey, humble & modest place. But, from one reason to another, highly conducive to creative people.

The purpose of the Art Expedition is not necessarily a showcase, more to explore the strength of coincidental artistic talent across generations from Macclesfield.

Each artist follows a different strand and narrative to what they produce and the processes they pursue.

With this Art Expedition we wish to state a strong coherence and identity in bringing the fantastic works of established, credible artists / friends from the North together.
