Factory Nights 2008
Factory Nights 2008 was a successful programme of creative working sessions piloted in North Tyneside and Sunderland. The sessions provided a unique opportunity for all types of creative people to come together, many who normally work at home or in isolation and provide a fuel to feed the creative fire, whilst forging relationships with businesses and utilizing their interesting spaces. Factory Nights aimed to solve the frustration of a lack of studio space available, to give opportunities for artists to make work and also provides a channel for creative people to become more visible. Each venue chosen to house a Factory Night, had the enthusiasm for future creative collaboration within their spaces and wanted to work with artists.
