‘Mapping Gateshead’ is a multidisciplinary, collaborative project that surveys and critically re-imagines creative and cultural activity in Gateshead.

​

The project brings together academics, policy makers, creative practitioners and local citizens to discuss their experiences of change and continuity in Gateshead’s cultural landscape.

​

‘Creative practice’ is a deliberately broad term intended to welcome a range of artistic backgrounds from leading architecture firms to community art projects and individual practitioners.

​

So far, we’ve held online mapping workshops, walking tours, and pop-up events providing opportunities to share knowledge; identify areas in need of targeted support, develop and strengthen creative networks and, importantly, advocate for continued creative activity in the borough.
