Art and Architecture
Formerly housed on the Manchester Metropolitan University's campus, Alsager Arts Centre had an acclaimed public programme of touring new performance and visual art work presented in two intensive seasons – September to November and January to March. But the centre has now moved to the university's Crewe campus, as its Alsager site is closing.
In August 2010 Alsager hosted the first annual Alsager Arts Festival.
Artist James Lloyd was born in the town.

Famous quotes containing the words art and, art and/or architecture:
“I think sometimes that it is almost a pity to enjoy Italy as much as I do, because the acuteness of my sensations makes them rather exhausting; but when I see the stupid Italians I have met here, completely insensitive to their surroundings, and ignorant of the treasures of art and history among which they have grown up, I begin to think it is better to be an American, and bring to it all a mind and eye unblunted by custom.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“Ye know why the forms are fair, ye hear how the tale is told:
It is all triumphant art, but art in obedience to laws,”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
