We don’t just
show great films,
we make them too.

The three-month project, scheduled to run from 1 August 2026 through 31 October 2026, will bring together artists, curators, and cultural professionals to create a series of monumental sculptures and immersive installations that explore the dynamic relationship between visual art and cinematic storytelling.

Partnership & Vision

The initiative reflects a shared commitment by Universal Sculpture Hub, LLC and the Manchester Art Museum to foster artistic excellence, cultural exchange, and innovation. Upon completion, the project will contribute to the museum’s growing collection of contemporary works and provide visitors with immersive experiences that bridge the worlds of sculpture, film, and modern technology.

Project Timeline

Throughout the contract period, the project will progress through concept refinement, fabrication, installation, and final exhibition preparation, culminating in a formal completion and acceptance process on 31 October 2026.

Following the successful completion of the project, Maria Rich is expected to participate in leading UK art conferences and cultural events, where she will share insights into the creative process, the evolution of contemporary sculpture, and the value of international artistic collaboration.

Universal Sculpture Hub, LLC remains committed to delivering world-class artistic projects that celebrate creativity, innovation, and cultural impact. This collaboration with the Manchester Art Museum represents another important step toward inspiring global audiences through exceptional public art and transformative cultural partnerships.

We invite artists, collectors, museums, cultural organizations, and art enthusiasts to follow the progress of this exciting project as it unfolds over the coming months.
