Excited for tomorrow’s Crit. We are being joined by Blair Watson from the Stronger Shores team who will be speaking about their project that is raising awareness about coastal erosion. We will be collaborating on a new arts project across the coming year as part of this scheme.

This is tonight, always a good night out for the creatively curious!!! We'll be there.

Fantastic night as ever! Thanks to all who came. DM me your email if you want to join our email newsletter list for these events. #amble #northumberland

Excited to be collaborating with Jacqui Wicks and alnwickstoryfest on this event. Much like our Dovecote Street Arts Crit Night’s - you just need to turn up with something! Let me and Jacqui don our curatorial specs and examine the extraordinary in your ordinary object! Details in tweet.

A properly lovely evening at the museum for the opening of Gillian Lee Smith’s show. Excellent speechifying from Luke McTaggart !!!

Such a fab night! Rounded off with Jacqui Wicks in Maccy D’s!!!

Excellent afternoon spent with Jacqui Wicks on Saturday curating our Museum of Ordinary Things! What a hoot was our MoOT! Can’t wait to see where it leads next. Keep your eyes peeled for seeing what we do next with Jim Donnelly photographs…they look like ‘proper’ museum shots…!

‘Autumn Leaves, Morwick’ Acrylic on canvas 70x70cm Thought I’d finally get around to properly sharing the first of the two pieces I have in this year’s ’Northumberland Open’ at Woodhorn Museum.

‘Morning Light, West Allotments’ Acrylic on canvas 76x80cm The other of the two pieces I have in this year’s Woodhorn Museum Open Exhibition. You’ve got until June to catch this brilliant display of the region’s talent.

My adopted home town needs a new theatre and the proposals are flipping exciting ... 2 theatre spaces, 2 cinemas ... if you live in Berwick District or the Scottish Borders please take a look and support this project. arts-mail.co.uk/cr/AQiGpgUQy6m…

Thanks to everyone who made it along last night! Another enlivening evening. Keep your eyes peeled for the next one coming up on Tuesday 29th April. #art #artwork #amble #community #crit #northumberland
