TESTIMONIAL:

“

Mercy were open for the challenge of a dialogue outside the often restricted frame works of how organisations work, ambitious to make something happen, encouraged to take on board the artists needs, generous in their ambitions and with their time, hospitable in their nature, questioning in their approach.
- Michael Mayhew

Mercy’s activities make the decision to stay in Liverpool. That’s not an exaggeration. They genuinely seem to conceive and execute the things that make the city feel like an edgy, vibrant centre of creativity.
