(6)The gallereo gang took a walk around The Late Shows on Saturday night, and had a blast, so thought that we'd share that with you.
The Late Shows is an after dark programme of events and exhibitions focusing on the great cultural venues that are dotted all over Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead in the North East of the UK.
Beginning in 2007, The Late Shows is now 5 years old, and every year gathers a larger audience for the one-off events that encourage visitors to take a fresh look at art, history and the creative spirit of the region.
The organisers have done a great job in building up this event, starting with just 14 venues in 2007, they now have over 37 venues eager to be involved. They have even managed to get the CitySightseeing buses to offer visitors free transport between venues.
This year, gallereo were particularly interested in the Highbridge Studios and Gallery, which have yet to officially open to the public. There has been a lot of time spent, and a lot of news written about this project, but despite it all, they're finally here and ready to use!
There is already a very vibrant community of artists inhabiting the unique space that used to be warehouses and so it was great to be able to spend the time walking around and seeing how the space is starting to come to life.
On the night, there were creative workshops, drinks, music and special projects on show that created a really good atmosphere on Saturday night. This is definitely something we will keep an eye on, and hope that you do too.
