‘Open Up’, an exhibition of drawings and paintings by local artist Ian Mood, is on the move!
An artist-in-residence at Newcastle Common, Ian’s collection focuses on the faces and places that make Newcastle town centre the wonderful place it is. The work came from Ian spending time on the streets of the town centre earlier this year, talking to people and drawing them and the situations he saw.
From Monday 27 September until Saturday 23 October 2021, the vivid collection will be exhibited at the New Vic Theatre, who lead the Appetite programme.
