Take part in creative workshops with Equal Arts

We've teamed up with cultural and community venues across Newcastle and Gateshead for artist-led creative workshops.

All sessions are for people 55+ and those living with dementia and their carers.

Supported by our team, the workshops are informal, inclusive and provide an opportunity to come along, have a go and explore your creativity, no experience neccessary!

"I never really liked painting before, but with Lindsey's help I feel like I know how to use watercolours. I've found the sessions most enjoyable and relaxing and you can just get lost in the painting."
