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.

In August 2010 Alsager hosted the first annual Alsager Arts Festival.
Artist James Lloyd was born in the town.
