Love People's Panel - Who are they?
The People's Panel is a group of people from many different communities living in the North East. They have worked with Gallery staff to share different ideas of the Laing Art Gallery and make a variety of multi-sensory interpretation materials for the National Gallery Touring Partnership Exhibitions 2005-8.
