Celebrating the University’s 50th anniversary and our growing partnership with Salford Museum and Art Gallery, What’s in Store? showcases the breadth of the University of Salford Art Collection and tells the story of the Collection, so far.

The Collection began in 1969 and now contains around 700 works which are stored and displayed for the benefit of students, staff, alumni and the public. This exhibition brings together a selection of works from traditional oil paintings by L.S. Lowry and Adolphe Valette; and bold prints by modern British artists including Patrick Hughes and Bridget Riley, to cutting edge contemporary art by local and international artists such as Sarah Hardacre and Cao Fei.

This is the first time that many of these works have been on public display together. As well as looking back on the origins of the Collection the exhibition also considers the future; what might make the Collection distinctive in years to come?
