Gateshead Creative Crawl
This is supported by Gateshead Council, Kim McGuinness NECA and delivered by Orbis Community, working with amazing town centre venues and artists.

Creative communities thrive when people come together.
We were proud to be part of @thelateshows at Orbis Community this year, celebrating creativity, collaboration, heritage and culture across Newcastle and Gateshead in partnership with North East Museums.
For this year’s “Made in Gateshead” printmaking workshops, I drew inspiration from the work and legacy of @bewicksocietyThomas Bewick, whose connection to the North East and approach to storytelling through print continues to influence artists and makers today. The workshops became a way to celebrate the region’s creative heritage through contemporary printmaking, encouraging people to engage directly with the process of making and leave with something they had created themselves.
The evening brought together students from @gatesheadcollege @newcastlecollege @northumbriauni @newcastleuni alongside local artists, makers and creative businesses to showcase the incredible creative talent across the North East.
@hakefoods the tastiest of tasty! Everyone was blown away with the amazing treats!
New conversations, creative exchanges and shared experiences developed across the space, creating an environment that encouraged confidence, connection and collaboration between emerging creatives at an important stage in their journey.

Something special happens when creative communities come together.
For this year’s The Late Shows, Vane and Orbis Communityplayed an important role in creating a space that brings together new and emerging artists alongside established practitioners from across the region.
Vane continues to place real value on supporting artists at different stages of their careers, offering a platform where ideas, practices and voices can be shared collectively. This approach helps build an environment where creativity can be developed openly, and where artists can grow through connection, dialogue and shared experience.
Across the evening, it was particularly noticeable how students from different universities and colleges naturally connected, collaborated and supported one another throughout the event. That shared energy and openness created a strong sense of exchange across disciplines and institutions.
Special thanks to the architectural students from Newcastle College for the work they displayed, which contributed meaningfully to the exhibition and the wider conversation within the gallery space.
The gallery became a space where creative work was not only presented but actively shared, discussed and shaped through participation. It reflected the importance of having accessible platforms that support both emerging talent and established practitioners, strengthening the wider creative community in the North East.
Events like this remind us how vital it is to have spaces that champion collaboration and support artists to grow together.

Something special happens when creative communities come together.
For this year’s The Late Shows, Vane and Orbis Communityplayed an important role in creating a space that brings together new and emerging artists alongside established practitioners from across the region.
Vane continues to place real value on supporting artists at different stages of their careers, offering a platform where ideas, practices and voices can be shared collectively. This approach helps build an environment where creativity can be developed openly, and where artists can grow through connection, dialogue and shared experience.
Across the evening, it was particularly noticeable how students from different universities and colleges naturally connected, collaborated and supported one another throughout the event. That shared energy and openness created a strong sense of exchange across disciplines and institutions.
Special thanks to the architectural students from Newcastle College for the work they displayed, which contributed meaningfully to the exhibition and the wider conversation within the gallery space.

Creative communities thrive when people come together.
We were proud to be part of @thelateshows at Orbis Community this year, celebrating creativity, collaboration, heritage and culture across Newcastle and Gateshead in partnership with North East Museums.
For this year’s “Made in Gateshead” printmaking workshops, I drew inspiration from the work and legacy of @bewicksocietyThomas Bewick, whose connection to the North East and approach to storytelling through print continues to influence artists and makers today. The workshops became a way to celebrate the region’s creative heritage through contemporary printmaking, encouraging people to engage directly with the process of making and leave with something they had created themselves.
The evening brought together students from @gatesheadcollege @newcastlecollege @northumbriauni @newcastleuni alongside local artists, makers and creative businesses to showcase the incredible creative talent across the North East.
New conversations, creative exchanges and shared experiences developed across the space, creating an environment that encouraged confidence, connection and collaboration between emerging creatives at an important stage in their journey.

Creative communities thrive when people come together.
We were proud to be part of @thelateshows at Orbis Community this year, celebrating creativity, collaboration, heritage and culture across Newcastle and Gateshead in partnership with North East Museums.
For this year’s “Made in Gateshead” printmaking workshops, I drew inspiration from the work and legacy of @bewicksocietyThomas Bewick, whose connection to the North East and approach to storytelling through print continues to influence artists and makers today. The workshops became a way to celebrate the region’s creative heritage through contemporary printmaking, encouraging people to engage directly with the process of making and leave with something they had created themselves.
The evening brought together students from @gatesheadcollege @newcastlecollege @northumbriauni @newcastleuni alongside local artists, makers and creative businesses to showcase the incredible creative talent across the North East.

‘Made in Gateshead’
Gateshead Central Exchange Launch, April 2026
Gateshead Central Exchange is a public-facing window gallery in the town centre, curated by Vane, Orbis Community and the Northeast Creative Network. Set within a former bank building, it brings contemporary art into everyday life, making it visible and accessible to everyone who passes by.
This launch celebrates ‘Made in Gateshead’, a collection of artwork created in Gateshead through local projects, workshops, pop-ups and independent practice. The title reflects the people, ideas and collaboration that shape the town, highlighting the creativity that already exists within the community.
The idea began during a community spring clean organised by Victoria Oxley, where conversations with Mark Ferguson MP highlighted the importance of creating visible spaces for local people, students and emerging creatives. What started as a simple idea has grown into a permanent platform for community expression.
Building on earlier pilot exhibitions by the Northeast Creative Network, the project shows the impact of making creativity part of everyday public space. It also creates real opportunities for students and emerging creatives to exhibit their work in a public setting, ensuring their ideas have a lasting presence and legacy. This is about opening doors, not gatekeeping. Creativity here is inclusive, and every voice matters, not just the polished or expected ones.
As one passerby said during installation:
“Aye, bout time I’ve seen something colourful… really canny that like!”
A reminder that when creativity is visible, it can connect people, place and community.

The idea began during a community spring clean organised by Victoria Oxley, where conversations with Mark Ferguson MP highlighted the importance of creating visible spaces for local people, students and emerging creatives. What started as a simple idea has grown into a permanent platform for community expression.
Building on earlier pilot exhibitions by the Northeast Creative Network, the project shows the impact of making creativity part of everyday public space. It also creates real opportunities for students and emerging creatives to exhibit their work in a public setting, ensuring their ideas have a lasting presence and legacy. This is about opening doors, not gatekeeping. Creativity here is inclusive, and every voice matters, not just the polished or expected ones.
As one passerby said during installation:
“Aye, bout time I’ve seen something colourful… really canny that like!”
A reminder that when creativity is visible, it can connect people, place and community.

💚🤎🧡🩶💙 MAKE IT GATESHEAD 🩷💙🤎❤️💚🩶🧡🩵💛🤍
Wow… what an incredible few days it’s been 💫
Gateshead truly came alive Make It Gateshead 2026, and I’m honestly blown away by the energy, creativity, and connection that filled the town centre. From families exploring the trail together, to students mixing with new visitors, to local artists, businesses, and volunteers bringing everything to life, this is exactly what community should feel like.
There was something really special about seeing so many different people come together, sharing smiles, conversations, and creativity. Familiar places felt brand new again, and the town centre became a space full of discovery, joy, and imagination 🐣✨
The Easter trail, workshops, and activities didn’t just entertain, they connected people. Watching children proudly show their designs, friends exploring the trail together, and visitors experiencing Gateshead in a fresh way, it was something we should be so proud of.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part, supported, collaborated, and showed up with such positivity. You made this what it was 💚
This is the side of Gateshead we need more of, vibrant, welcoming, creative, and full of community spirit. Let’s keep building on this. Let’s do more like this!

Wow… what an incredible few days it’s been 💫
Gateshead truly came alive Make It Gateshead 2026, and I’m honestly blown away by the energy, creativity, and connection that filled the town centre. From families exploring the trail together, to students mixing with new visitors, to local artists, businesses, and volunteers bringing everything to life, this is exactly what community should feel like.
There was something really special about seeing so many different people come together, sharing smiles, conversations, and creativity. Familiar places felt brand new again, and the town centre became a space full of discovery, joy, and imagination 🐣✨
The Easter trail, workshops, and activities didn’t just entertain, they connected people. Watching children proudly show their designs, friends exploring the trail together, and visitors experiencing Gateshead in a fresh way, it was something we should be so proud of.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part, supported, collaborated, and showed up with such positivity. You made this what it was 💚
This is the side of Gateshead we need more of, vibrant, welcoming, creative, and full of community spirit. Let’s keep building on this. Let’s do more like this!

Following our session, the DARK NIGHTS micro market launched over the last few days at Baltic Campus… and WOW, what a result!!! 🖤
So proud of every single one of you. Your creativity, energy, and courage to share your voices has been inspiring. This is just the beginning 🚀

At @gatesheadartandmedia @gatesheadcollege the Celebrating Difference project has been running for over a decade, giving students the opportunity to explore themes of equality, diversity, and inclusion through creative practice.
This year’s exhibition is presented in collaboration with Orbis Community and showcases selected work from Year 1 students. The project brings together a cross-disciplinary exploration of identity, culture, and community. While students from Fashion, Interiors, and Photography contributed to the wider programme, the work presented here focuses on Fine Art and Digital Art.
Our @maker_space_ncl played an important role in the development of the work, supporting students in creating laser-cut stamps that expanded their creative processes and outcomes. We also worked with our @northeast.creative.network to deliver a printmaking workshop led by @mickwoottonprint master printmaker, giving students the opportunity to learn new techniques and approaches to image-making.
In Monsters and Mythology, Digital Art students explored folklore from cultures around the world, reinterpreting traditional myths and creatures to celebrate global heritage and storytelling.
Fine Art students approached the theme through portraiture, creating expressive works that represent charities, support networks, and activist organisations that advocate for diversity and positive change within our communities.
Together, these works reflect the richness of cultural identity and highlight the power of art to promote inclusion, representation, and understanding.

Fine Art students approached the theme through portraiture, creating expressive works that represent charities, support networks, and activist organisations that advocate for diversity and positive change within our communities.
Together, these works reflect the richness of cultural identity and highlight the power of art to promote inclusion, representation, and understanding.

Emerald Explorers
Our Dream Farm
Year 3 at St Alban’s RC Primary School, Pelaw
Pupils at St Alban’s Primary School, worked with artist Jennie Eyre (Bianco Perry) as part of Gateshead Council’s Arts Team’s Emerald Explorers programme. The pupils were asked to imagine what their dream farm would look like and then each created an individual panel with paint and collage work.
Emerald Explorers is a creative programme of activities that use nature, the four seasons and Gateshead’s green spaces as inspiration.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
