Cultivate is now officially closed until the start of New Year and the opening night of BANG! on First Thursday January 3rd. We’re still not sure how Bang will evolve or what will happen (watch out for news here in the run up). Big big thanks to all who’ve been involved in the ongoing ever-evolving…
BANG! AN UPDATE, IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. MORE FREE ART? YEASTIE GIRLS, SPRING OFFENSIVE? EXCITE US! What is BANG!? We put out the BANG! Call for artists a couple of weeks ago, we kind of hoped you’d be ignited by the blank canvas of an idea, the notion of us just saying…
This week at Cultivate then, the art re-up goes on on our corner of street, we enter the second week of the ART IS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS show and our rather packed AFFORDABLE ART EVENT that features a gallery full of diverse work from about forty artists. The work on show is…

Coming next at Cultivate, this Thursday night, SILENT STEPS a group exhibition of photography. That’s right, this week us paintheads at Cultivate have handed over our walls to a group photographers, let’s see what they serve up…. kind of excited to see what they hang and how they hang it, the pieces we saw before…
Coming up in December at Cultivate… ART IS FOR LIFE: NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS (The Return) We’re heading toward that dangerous time again, that time where galleries fill up with tinsel and mulled wine, and as Malcolm McLaren once almost certainly said, “why the hell not?” From First Thursday 6th of December, until close of…
I guess the answer, once more, is do it yourself, A couple of things going on elsewhere, one right over the road, one up there in Newcastle… Both pieces of wordery taken in a cut ‘n paste manner from the born yet again no thrill pages of Organ, the Cultivate in-house on line publication –…
