Top Alternative Galleries in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Although the iconic BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art dominates the horizon of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne’s alternative art scene, there are a handful of smaller institutions scattered throughout the city which are absolutely worth a visit. Home to cutting-edge art and ambitious projects, Newcastle’s reputation as a cultural hub is shaped largely by these thriving artistic centres, all of which are free to visit.

3. The NewBridge Project
The NewBridge Project
Set in a disused office block at the heart of the city, The NewBridge Project consists of an exhibition space, a bookshop café and over 80 artists’ studios. The artist-led community focuses on exploring new approaches to art practice and nurturing a strong community feel, with regular free exhibitions of artists’ work, events, talks, screenings, and discussion groups. The bookshop is worth a special mention, as some of its stock will not be found elsewhere.
