As many of you already know we have left our gallery venue in Longsight to go on the road, and, as with all road trips, the road ahead is proving to be full of surprises. We're turning up in alternative exhibition spaces here an there. Our famous programme of exhibitions continues in our 'On the Road' series of ventures:

PROJEKTS Skateshop, 36-40 Edge Street, Manchester, M4 1HN. Friday 8 February to Sunday 6 April 2008. Open daily 10am - 6pm. Sunday 11am - 4pm. Admission is free. PROJEKTS MCR in association with the ImiTate© Gallery presents an exhibition of skateboards, paintings and video by world-class artist Axel Bottenberg. With a punchy penchant for insane ideas Bottenberg’s works bolt together a dizzying array of imagery incorporating both classic and contemporary iconography in a technically brilliant visual ‘mashup’. Swing by to see this compact exhibition in the unique atmosphere of the PROJEKTS Skateshop from Friday 8th February to Sunday 6th April 2008. More about PROJEKTS MCR here.

Business North West, Manchester Central, 21-22 November 2007. We already know you have an interest in art. However do you have an interest in business? If you do you may like to know about the ImiTate© Gallery's appearance at the "Business North West" event occurring at Manchester Central (ex-G-Mex) today and tomorrow (21-22 Nov 07).

We think the receptions, boardrooms and directors offices of businesses across the North West can benefit from the ImiTate© Gallery phenomenon too. What a great way to impress clients and uplift the working environment with original art that stokes the imagination and gets the creative juices flowing!

Business North West is supported by some of the region’s most prestigious business organizations. Partnered with The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and The Manchester Evening News as media partner, support is also pledged from Business Link, Manchester Solutions, The Institute of Directors and Manchester City Council, "ensuring that the North West has a platform to showcase itself and promote Manchester and the North West as the UK’s number one business region". Woo-wee!

Well, as far as we can see, this is a must for those entrepreneurs

among you... with seminars by all-sorts of business luminaries such

as Dan Germain (Head of Creative – Innocent Drinks) and Doug Richard (former Dragon from Dragon's Den) you can't fail to be inspired.
