Cotton On MCR: Art Events, Workshops and More. Our mission is to provide Manchester with a huge variety of new, engaging and exciting art events. We will bring you a great mix of art workshops, talks, exhibitions and more. Cotton On MCR has a goal to bring the most amazing and inclusive art events to Manchester. Art can sometimes be seen as an elitist thing, with many people in the city never stepping foot in a gallery or art space. We want to change that. We want to show art is for everyone, no matter what background, what your education is etc.
