Laing Art Gallery

A dynamic exhibition programme brings an exciting variety of art to your doorstep, while fun learning events encourage even the youngest of children to get involved.

The Laing prides itself on its temporary exhibition programme and it has brought paintings from around the world to the North East.

The impressive permanent collection can be enjoyed throughout the season with dynamic landscapes by John Martin and sculpture by Henry Moore. The learning team are on hand throughout the year providing talks from leading contemporary artists and fun hands-on activities for families. Many of these events, like the gallery, are free of charge.
