The NewBridge Project have invited Islington Mill to participate in Life in a Northern Town, a series of three exhibitions and a programme of events featuring work by upcoming and early-career artists living and working in the North of England. The programme has been developed in partnership with other artist-led spaces and studio collectives from Northern cities, celebrating the ambitious and experimental spirit of organisations with a grassroots, DIY ethos at the heart of what they do.
LIVE in a Northern Town celebrates and continues the Mill’s long-standing commitment to supporting a local music programme as well as collaboration between visual artists and musicians. The Mill will present a programme of LIVE events bringing musicians from across the North to Newcastle for two days and nights of special collaborations, workshops and performances.
For this project, Stina Puotinen, Studio & Events Manager at Islington Mill, has teamed up with longtime Mill resident Emma Thompson – of Fat Out music promotion – to select musicians to be paired with visual artists from the Mill’s network. Taking place between The Star and Shadow and The NewBridge Project, the two-day program highlights Islington Mill’s signature mix of music and visual arts, and will showcase musicians from Liverpool, Salford, Leeds and Newcastle.
