Not an artist but still want to get involved?

As part of the VODA-led partnership, we are delivering three Make it Happen programmes that will support and empower individuals and community groups to work alongside professional artists to co-produce arts and cultural events inspired by the heritage of our Heritage Action Zone.

If you already deliver community activity in North Tyneside or live locally and want to get involved you may be interested in our community volunteer programme Let’s Make it Happen North Shields starting Thursday 26 January 2023, 1pm – 3pm. For more information contact:  Amy.Taylor@helixarts.com
