BALTIC

While we’re chomping at the bit to have ourselves a mooch around BALTIC, the creative folk over the river are encouraging us to use our crafts skills and share them using #balticconnect! A fab way to show off your creative prowess this year. The fun doesn't stop there... the gang have introduced BALTIC Foundation Club; a free series of online artist-led workshops and discussions aimed at young people aged 13-19, as well as a whole host of new virtual exhibitions to explore. Check it out at home!

NEWCASTLE CATHEDRAL: SEE US IN A NEW LIGHT

With joyous prayers, uplifting reflections and online coffee mornings all readily available to stream direct to your smart device, Newcastle Cathedral has kept parishioners across the North East connected throughout this turbulent time.

LAING ART GALLERY

The creative team at the Laing continue to offer a taste of the gallery from the comfort of our homes, and they’re back for round three of lockdown with two YouTube films in association with the current Art Deco by the Sea exhibition! Exhibitions Unpacked: Art Deco by the Sea offers a flavour of the in-person display, taking culture vultures on a kaleidoscopic journey of vibrant colours and uplifting architecture. The second film provides a fascinating introduction to the North East Coast Exhibition of 1929, which took place in Exhibition Park, Newcastle. Once again, the lovely lot at the Laing are keeping our culture levels high thanks to brilliant and bold ideas. We're looking forward to seeing you in person soon!
