Manchester has appointed Jennifer Cleary as its new Director of Culture, bringing over two decades of experience in arts strategy and major cultural events to the role. Most recently leading Arts Council England’s combined arts and North division, she helped launch groundbreaking initiatives like the Inclusive Sport and Culture Festival and the Theatre Breakthrough Fund. Before that, she shaped community engagement at the Manchester International Festival. In her new role, starting in October, she’ll drive the city’s ten-year “Always Everywhere” cultural strategy, boosting economic growth, community wellbeing, and global reputation across music, film, media, and design. This move underscores Manchester’s commitment to weaving culture into its identity — nurturing both global institutions and local creativity for a more inclusive, vibrant future.
