Arts Centre Washington Exhibition: Looking Out, Looking In From September 2020 Created by artists Sally Southern and Nicola Lynch with the help of the local community. The artists connected ‘virtually’ with residents of Hetton, Easington Lane and Moorsley and asked them to reflect on their lockdown experience. Asking questions like, who have you looked out for? Who has looked out for you? How has the whole experience made you feel? The exhibition contains photography, text and installations.
No Strings Extended until March 2021 No Strings should have opened to the public back in March, but was unable to due to the COVID-19 closure of National Glass Centre. The exhibition moved online with a short video tour, but when the centre reopens, will be available to see in person for the first time! No Strings features the work of seven international artists working with glass beads in unconventional ways. The exhibition will include a beaded burger and coke by Faranak Sohi, an evening dress made using beads and safety pins by Shige Fujishiro and a beaded chicken showing his gymnastic prowess on the rings by Felieke van der Leest.

Chad McCail: Toy Extended until 2021 This exhibition by Chad McCail has been extended to the new year, and we’re delighted to hear it! 'Toy' is a monumental cityscape populated by gigantic mythical creatures battling for its future freedom. This exhibition is full of extraordinary details, creating an intense and almost surreal experience for visitors. Don't miss the optional audio tour by Chad himself, as he talks visitors through the toy city at Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art. NORTHERNGALLERYFOR CONTEMPORARYART.ORG.UK
