Helping to support Wooler Arts

Supporting Wooler Arts Making a donation Running a voluntary arts organisation is financially very challenging. Currently we receive no public funding, but have to rely on trusts, small grant applications, individual donations and box office income. Being a Registered Charity brings benefits such as Gift Aid, but it is the generosity of individuals that has been so helpful over the past five years, particularly with regard to the Summer Concerts, our most expensive activity. As we look to the future, we hope that support will be forthcoming in a number of different ways. If you would like to make an individual donation, you can do this by cheque made payable to Wooler Arts and sent to Wooler Arts PO Box 134 Wooler Northumberland NE66 9ES If you prefer to pay by bank transfer , please email us at info@woolerarts.org.uk and we will send you our bank details. Please make it clear which of the following you would like to support: Wooler Arts Summer Concerts Concerts and Recitals Glendale Community Ceilidh Band Poetry Café Visual Arts - Open Exhibition Highlights Thank you very much for considering to support us - it is very much appreciated.

Open Exhibition 2023

We had a very strong and positive response to our call for submissions, with 77 works submitted by 49 artists. In addition we had 49 submissions from children, two submitting independently and 47 from Glendale and Community Middle School and ‘Inky Fingers’ painting group led by Anthea Wood. The Selection Panel (Mo Healey, artist; Rachel Sutherland, artist; and Lady Harriet Joicey) selected 45 adult works and all the children’s work. The range and styles of the submissions were impressive, as was the level of imagination of the artists. The Gallery @ No.6 in Wooler became the home for a truly rewarding five-week exhibition.

A People’s Prize resulted in James Dawson winning the children’s category for his painting Downhill Sunset. There were joint winners in the adult category: Claire Ward’s Tell us how we did and Rich Johnson’s Cotton Grass.
