“To have this wonderful expansion of arts facilities outside London, especially at a time of sustained pressure on arts funding, is such a shock. But it's what you would expect from a visionary city. HOME will stand as a compliment to the vision of the arts institutions in Manchesterand of Manchester City Council. Their faith in the power of the arts to transform lives and the economy is impossible not to support”
Danny Boyle – HOME Patron
