Ornament Art, a unique exhibition showcasing the playful and colourful creations of Manchester-based artists Jo and David Short has opened in the centre of Manchester
Running until March 17th, this exhibition celebrates their love for collecting quirky knick-knacks and vintage ornaments gathered over years of travel and treasure hunting.
Their collection, now a carefully curated museum of glassware, ceramics, and sculptures, inspired them to create a range of wall art prints and greeting cards designed to bring whimsy and charm into any home. With David’s expertise as an advertising photographer, Ornament Art’s pieces reflect their passion for storytelling and the art of visual playfulness.
The new installation is now on display at 285 Deansgate, Manchester, where you can explore ornament.art in person. You can also find their playful and affordable designs at makers’ markets around Greater Manchester or shop online at ornament.art.
Dez Rez Projects, in partnership with Great Northern Warehouse, has been supporting independent creatives since 2022. Their 24/7 street-level exhibition space continues to provide a platform for local artists and makers.
