Forth Lane Urban Gallery opening celebration

We want to invite you along to the opening of the new Forth Lane Urban Gallery, a public realm project delivered in partnership with Project North East (PNE) and Newcastle Arts Centre and with support from NE1 and artist Mark Shields.

6 artists have been commissioned to create new outdoor work responding to the theme Pleasure Garden transforming the historic Forth Lane which has been in use since the 1500s.
Once leading to a 4-acre field enjoyed by people of all ages for leisure and pleasure: a playground, dancing square, sports field, a meeting place, with this urban gallery, Creative Central NCL hopes to bring back some of the freedom, joy and tranquillity of a walk in the park.

Join us from 3.30pm at Newcastle Arts Centre on Monday 14th October. Please book your place here so we can keep an eye on the numbers (*and so we can make you aware of any date changes due to the weather*).

We hope you’ll come and celebrate this project, meet the artists who have created the work (to be announced next week) and explore this well-known quirky Lane’s transformation.

Creative Central NCL is a five-year project funded by North East Combined Authority and Newcastle City Council. The partnership is investing £1.7m in Creative Central NCL to make central Newcastle a vibrant place for creativity and culture, and to create more opportunities for artists and creative businesses to thrive.
