Orbis Community has revitalised a former bank situated in the bustling heart of Gateshead, metamorphosing it into a vibrant creative hub teeming with inspiration and skilled artisans!

In line with the theme of 'People and Place' for this year's annual 'The Late Shows' event, you're invited to explore a captivating pop-up 'creative exchange' hosted at Slow Hand Creative Studio. Here, visitors can engage in a delightful exchange of personal stories with our diverse creative community, alongside talented art students from Newcastle and Gateshead, all while receiving unique treasures crafted by our artists.

Additionally, delve into the open studios at Orbis Community, where you can immerse yourself in creative taster sessions spanning printmaking and collage, encounter mesmerising installations, and participate in drop-in activities exploring drawing and ceramics.
