Moon Grove is an occasional independent unaffiliated contemporary art gallery in a private Georgian Grade II listed house in Rusholme, Manchester, UK.
Situated in a historically notable area – Moon Grove is the oldest residential street in the city – the gallery lies at the southernmost point of Manchester’s new ‘Oxford Road Corridor’, a cultural ‘innovation district’ that runs from St Peter’s Square in the city centre (the site of the Peterloo Massacre in 1819) to Wilmslow Road in the south. Among other organisations, the area contains Castlefield Gallery, HOME, the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, Manchester Metropolitan University and Manchester School of Art, The Holden Gallery, The Royal Northern College of Music, The University of Manchester, The Pankhurst Centre, Whitworth Art Gallery and the world-famous Curry Mile, the largest concentration of South Asian restaurants outside of the Indian Subcontinent.
From its modest and intimate location, the gallery provides context for critical independence and creative exhibition-making, where audiences might witness revelatory new forms of international contemporary art.
The gallery was founded in 2022 by Andrew Hunt.
