ANEW: Artist in Residence with Joe Hartley
First residency trip to Liverpool Biennale in 2023 to see Melanie Manchot’s STEPHEN.

ANEW: Artist in Residence with Joe Hartley

Working in partnership with ANEW Recovery Community and the Castlefield Gallery Portraits of Recovery was proud to present Joe Hartley, our Artist in Residence. As part of this residency artists engaged with the community, observed service processes, and offered critical reflections that shaped the final exhibition. This was a chance for mutual learning and growth among artists, community members, and service providers. 

The residency produced a compelling new body of work, co-created with the ANEW recovery community. This collaborative art was showcased in an exhibition at Castlefield Gallery in August 2025.

ANEW Way to Peel An Orange offered the public an opportunity to engage with narratives that challenge stereotypes and embrace a holistic view of recovery. The work resonated with art enthusiasts and provoked meaningful conversations about substance use and recovery.
