Chew the Cud: North East Open Call

Join Penny Payne, curator of the North East Open Call (NEOC), for an informal conversation exploring one of the region's largest and most ambitious open exhibitions. Hear about the selection process, curatorial decisions and the themes that emerged from this year's submissions, alongside insights from exhibiting artists. Whether you're an artist considering applying in the future or simply curious about the exhibition, this is a chance to go behind the scenes of a programme that has become a vital platform for contemporary artists across the North. Light refreshments provided. 

Tickets are free but booking is essential.
