Get involved at the Shipley Art Gallery
There are always opportunities to get involved with the work of the Shipley Art Gallery.
Friends of the Shipley
The Friends are dedicated to supporting the Shipley Art Gallery as a premier venue for fine art, craft and design in Gateshead and the North East of England. The Shipley is a treasure house of marvellous pictures, sculpture, craft and also home to the famous Blaydon Races. The Shipley offers a warm welcome and an exciting programme of exhibitions and events throughout the year, encompassing all the visual arts created both locally and nationally. There is something for everybody to enjoy!
The Shipley gives free admission to visitors, but the ever increasing costs of maintaining and developing its services to meet the growing interest in art of all kinds is a daunting challenge which can only be met by seeking additional grants, constant fund-raising and the active participation of volunteers and benefactors. The help that the Friends can give financially, in kind, and through advocacy is appreciated by the Shipley, and is as an important factor in increasing its interest and appeal to the community.
