Founded by Damian Huntley
Newcastle Artists Society was established April 2009. The idea was borne of a simple observation that there is no cohesive body that brings together artists in the North East of England with the general public. There are many organisations in the North East with a strong focus on art but it was felt by the founding members of Newcastle Artists Society that often these organisations focused on a very singular approach, the difference in concept here being that the Artists Society brings together all artists and all art forms in a group that is easy to reach and easy to interact with.
