MANCHESTER has seen a host of small independent galleries spring up over the past few years, and one such initiative is Greon, a gallery in Manchester's Northern Quarter co-run by Boltonian Greg Sanderson.

Their new exhibition, consisting of works by Bill Green, is entitled "Landscape I" and begins today.

Meanwhile, The Gallery Manchester's Art House presents an exhibition by Peter Brown, entitled Diversions and Divisions. The show will feature Sculptures and Lithographs by Philip Jackson.

Another Northern Quarter gallery, Creative Consultants, showcases a collection of prints and paintings by Sumit Sarkar. The show, entitled Still Blue, will also offer information about the artist's new fashion label, Kriksix.
