What is Newcastle Creates? What do we do? How do we do it? Read on to find out.
Newcastle Creates is the organisation that champions and advocates for culture to have a positive impact on all aspects of people’s lives – whether they live, work, study, or socialise in Newcastle upon Tyne. We are made up of a Board of Directors, some external Observers and clerical support, a Project Manager and our Members. We function as a non-profit making Co-operative.
We promote the role culture can play in improving:
We do this by bringing together experts across these topics to influence, advocate and act as thought leaders. A key part of this work is our upcoming engagement programme, which includes in-person meetings, online talks and forums.
We want everyone in the city to help shape it’s culture, and for everyone to feel welcome and represented. We aim to bridge the many gaps between the people who live, work and visit the city, and the people who make decisions that shape the cultural landscape.
Membership of Newcastle Creates is FREE and is open to anyone over the age of 16 who has an interest in the culture of the city and wants to have a say in how it develops in the future.
