May 2022 is going to be a busy month at Newcastle Arts Centre
Exhibitions, Jazz, Salsa, Flamenco, Art Courses, talks, and the ever popular Late Shows event is back. This year it coincides with a year long festival marking 1900 years since the building of the Roman Wall. Just by looking at the outside of these buildings it is a surprise to learn that they were central to the government and development of Tyneside for Centuries. This includes a previously unknown Roman Milecastle under the Courtyard and the City’s first Assembly House which is the oldest surviving Arts building on Tyneside, both now marked with ‘blue plaques’.
After almost 2 years of lockdown all departments of the Centre are keen to show their colours and welcome visitors to a fascinating programme of events. The Month starts with Jazz, Salsa and Flamenco and all venues and Studios open up for the Late Shows on Saturday 14th.
