Z-arts

Z-arts (formerly Zion Arts Centre) is Manchester’s primary venue for children and families covering all art forms and creative activities.

Z-arts was formed in 2000 as a ‘creative space for young people’ with a priority on providing participatory activity.

Our mission is to inspire and enable generations of young people from Manchester and beyond to use creativity to maximise their potential.

We do this by supporting an individual’s creative journey from their first steps in creative practice to being a practicing artist.

Here’s an example of the journey a person might take with us:

• early years arts workshops,
• after schools and holiday programmes across various artforms,
• schools engagement work, creative curriculum support and linking days
• vocational arts training such as mentoring, work placements, shadowing and observation
• artists masterclasses
• adult training and life-long learning

Z-arts creates an artistic hub in our large building with twelve public rooms including a 230 seat theatre, gallery, fully equipped dance studio, music studio, café, rehearsal and workshop rooms.
