13. “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 Manchester
and 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
