The exhibition takes place in the public art space of the Gateshead Civic Centre and will be showing until the end of March.  Car parking is available at the Civic Centre, which can be found using the postcode NE8 1HH. If using public transport, the Civic Centre is around four minutes walk from Gateshead Interchange.

WALK, with support from Gateshead Council, The Bewick Society and the Natural History Society ofNorthumbria, using funding from a Sharing Heritage grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has, since July 2014, been managing a project called To Bewick and Back: From Cherryburn into History. The project celebrates the work of Thomas Bewick and his influence as a natural historian, using public exhibitions of Bewick’s ‘wood engravings’, lectures, guided walks and by stimulating art, that has grown from an experience of Bewick’s landscape. The ‘In Response to Bewick Exhibition’ comprises new pieces by eight artists all of whom took part in the To Bewick & Back walks in August and September 2014.
