As a charitable organisation, 36 Lime Street runs the oldest and one of the largest studio groups in the North East. Alongside providing affordable studios, its gallery plays host to a wide-ranging programme of exhibitions, workshops and community events.
Through the organisation’s activity, it contributes towards the regeneration of the building and the area. 36 Gallery provides a platform for emerging and established artists and curators to experiment, test and take risks. Eight proposals a year are selected from an open call by a committee of members of 36 Lime Street studios.
