Merry Christmas from me and Jim Donnelly - here’s to another exciting year of Crits, exhibitions and creative events from Dovecote Street Arts in 2025! Huge thanks to everyone for all their support in 2024.

Have a read of this latest article on the Northumberland Gazette which details the exciting news we’ve had about our Rooted poetry booklet being accepted into the National Poetry Library in the Southbank Centre in London. northumberlandgazette.co.uk/community/writ…

I’m so pleased Ali’s work has been recognised in this way, it’s a testament to the exhibition which showcased the talent of 18 North East artists engaged with the environment and climate emergency. Read more in the article in the quoted tweet below. #art #amble #poetry

Great Crit night on Tues Bailiffgate Museum & Gallery. I’m in a habit of saying it, but it was the best yet. Summed up with this fab photo of Claire Ward’s spellbinding performance. Thanks Max Shepherd. Sums up what the Crit is about, literally and figuratively... Bringing people together!
