What an absolutely amazing day at The Arches in Gateshead’s Railway Quarter ☀️❤️
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Sunshine, creativity, music, food and community spirit filled the space from start to finish, and the best part was seeing people from every community coming together, having fun, creating memories and celebrating something truly special.

So many people told us how fantastic it was that the event was completely free and open to everyone. That’s exactly what community creativity should be about ✨

Orbis Community was proud to be part of this incredible launch event with our print workshop celebrating the cultural and creative places that make our communities vibrant, connected and inspiring.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, got involved and supported the day. The energy around the new artwork, performances, workshops and activities was unforgettable 🥳

This project shows the power of positive community action and collaboration❤️ artists, organisations, local businesses and community groups all working together to create something meaningful for Gateshead.

Big love to everyone involved ❤️
