About Us
We are here to encourage creativity within the local community by providing art and craft workshops and a space for both professional and amateur artists to exhibit their work to the public.
The charity was formed in August 2015 to serve the local community in and around Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland. We are run by dedicated volunteers and are proud to welcome new and returning artists to our clubs and classes.
