Bridge North East

In April 2012 Arts Council appointed Sage Gateshead as the Bridge organisation for the North East region – from that point ‘Bridge North East’ embarked on a three year journey. Our aspirations for the work were that Children and Young People growing up in this part of the world should be able to access the expanding and thriving cultural offer of the region.

Our route has been one of exploration, risk, learning and sustainability – always mindful that any learning must be shared. How could we best invest our resource, relative to funding levels,  and develop sustainable partnership working between schools and cultural organisations and transfer learning to others?
