Arty Farty Highlights

Alright, be honest: what good are the arts? What do they mean? What are they for? Do you and your community need the arts – or want them? Arty Farty is the latest instalment of Manchester International Festival's micro-international festivals created and streamed from home by Greater Manchester artists.
