Our Story
Newbiggin Arts Centre is a registered charity; number 1163002
We have changed the name (of Little Gem Arts & Crafts Gallery) to Newbiggin Arts Centre to reflect our new image and vocation.
The charity was originally formed in August 2015 to serve the local community in and around Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland.
Our objective is to advance education in Art and Crafts for the local community; in particular, but not exclusively, by providing tuition and art/craft facilities.
We provide painting and craft clubs and classes to artists young and old, novices and more experienced. We exhibit the artist’s artwork and have a small retail shop for art materials
We cover drawing, watercolour, acrylic, oil and water-soluble oil painting as well as a wide range of general craft activities.
Lockdown Paintings
Here is a selection of some of the paintings produced by the Newbiggin Arts Centre Artists during the recent lockdown.
Exhibitions
We have recently refurbished our exhibition space and will be presenting the artwork produced by our members, rotating on a monthly basis.
After the post-COVID re-launch, we will be exhibiting some of the paintings produced by our artists during the lockdown when we were unable to get together, paint together and see each others paintings.
To allow us to share our lockdown paintings with each other, we created an online virtual gallery. The response was so good that we had to create a second virtual gallery to cope with the output.
You can visit the firstvirtual gallery by going to:
