The Pop-Up Gallery

Overview

​

As a small independent artist, I am excited to be hosting ‘The Pop-up Gallery’ located in the heart of North Shields with funding provided by North Shields Cultural Quarter. We are also working alongside Ramsey's Theatre Stars, who are kindly providing the space for this event.

​

‘The Pop-up Gallery’ will take place in September & October 2024.

We offer this opportunity to the artists at no cost, allowing them to break into the art scene as easily as possible. There will be 3 separate categories of artists, who can showcase their artwork in person to the general public, there will be 6 artists chosen per category.

​

The chosen artists will each have a 60cmx120cm table top and up to two 3x6ft wall grids for hanging art depending on the individual requirements. 

The artists can use this as an opportunity to network, grow confidence, and or sell work. This event is open to 2D, 3D, and digital artists within North Tyneside and surrounding areas. The event will be open to the public and tickets will be available to purchase in advance or on the door. We are offering light refreshments & entertainment.

​

Any art sold on the night must be organised by the artists themselves, by providing their own payment options, i.e. card readers, PayPal, cash etc.
