    Welcome

    Quays Culture is the artistic team behind the large-scale art events at the Salford Quays and MediaCityUK location. The programme includes free public art exhibitions and performances, talks and workshops throughout the year across the public spaces. Inspired by our surroundings, there is a focus on technology, creativity and digital innovation, including the UK's largest Digital Light Festival every December. Working with local talent as well as internationally renowned artists, Quays Culture’s work ranges from the intimate to the monumental, inspiring audiences to engage with the location in new and exciting ways.
