TYNE TEA’ERS ART EXHIBITION

On Sunday 11th December 2022, amidst the Icelandic weather that struck the North East, our River Tyne youth group, also known as Tyne Tea’ers, braced the cold weather to set up their 1-day exclusive art exhibition at the scenic Quayside Market.

Funded and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Tyne Tea’ers are a newly formed youth group currently working on an 18-month project called, ‘Reflections on the Tyne: Then, Now and Tomorrow’.

As part of the project, the group held the exhibition to showcase their photography, lino printing, mosaics and calligraphy artwork which they created in a short period of time.

The artwork expressed the young people’s own interpretations and reflections on what they learned so far about the heritage of the River Tyne.

During the exhibition, our young people spoke to over 100 members of the public about their project and all the trips and activities they had completed so far.

Many were fascinated with the project and a few members of the public even expressed interest in taking part in the project in some capacity.
