East Durham Coastal Project
The Project is for members of East Durham Artists Network to produce a body of work that reflects their connection and commitment to the East Durham coastal area. The idea behind the programme has been derived from a reflection and reaction to recent exhibitions (Turning the Tide) and regional art history. The project will consist of various elements, the first of these will be a series of field trips, lectures and workshops; this will culminate in a number of exhibitions to be held throughout the North East Region.
