Where we host workshops in Newcastle

Our graffiti and street art workshops in Newcastle typically take place in accessible locations across the city. We often utilise venues within areas known for their creative energy, offering a convenient base for participants. Districts such as Ouseburn, with its industrial past and burgeoning arts scene, often provide suitable spaces. The city centre is also a practical option for many groups due to its excellent transport links.

We can also arrange workshops in communities surrounding Newcastle, such as Gateshead, North Tyneside, or South Tyneside, depending on your group's specific needs and location. This flexibility ensures we can cater to groups from across the Tyneside conurbation, making it easier for everyone to participate.

Helyi kultúra

Newcastle's street art scene

Newcastle upon Tyne has a growing appreciation for street art and public murals. While not traditionally known as a global graffiti hotspot, the city features an increasing number of commissioned artworks and independent pieces that add character to its urban landscape. The Ouseburn Valley, in particular, has become a focal point for creative expression, with various murals and artistic installations reflecting the area's regeneration and artistic community.

The city's cultural institutions, such as the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, often feature exhibitions that touch upon contemporary art forms, including street art and urban interventions. This evolving landscape provides a relevant context for our workshops, allowing participants to connect their creative experience with the broader artistic movements present within Newcastle.
