The Cultural Spring - customs house

The Cultural Spring is an exciting, ambitious project to get more people in Sunderland and South Tyneside to experience and be inspired by the arts. Making arts and culture an accepted and expected part of people’s lives.

What We Do

As part of the Creative People and Places programme, our aim is to encourage people to take part in art experiences in the places where they live and foster creativity. We want to create life-long involvement in the arts by engaging, entertaining and educating people in the North East.

  • WORKSHOPS

    We offered a range of craft packs, online workshops and in person workshops, there’s so much to get involved in.

  • GO AND SEE

    Our Go and See programme aims to ensure that people living in Sunderland and South Tyneside get the chance to experience the best arts and cultural events happening across the North East and beyond.

  • GET INVOLVED

    As well as taking part in events and workshops, local residents can learn new skills and help to shape our programme by becoming a Community Champion or a Cultural Spring volunteer.
