Creative event.

Calling all creatives, artists, musicians, film–makers, writers and performers……

Middlesbrough Council Arts and Events Team would like to support a series of artist-initiated events, to encourage artists to network and share best practice.

Do you have an idea for an event, which could take place in Middlesbrough? You need to be currently living in Tees Valley, and you must state in your proposal, how your event benefits the local creative community.

Music -Zine

Over:Drive Events and The Crown, Middlesbrough is looking for new ways to encourage and advertise live music.

They're interesting in creating a Music Zine (small, informal magazine) which combines flyers and promotions for upcoming gigs, with band interviews, reviews, art, illustration, articles, comics and anything else we can think of.

I'm looking for anyone who wants to be part of a group that contributes to this Zine, Ideally they would be interested and enthusiastic about the local music scene.

The Zine would have to be ready around the beginning of september to be published for freshers week.

Material/paper/printing costs will be funded by OVER:DRIVE, entrance to the gigs, travel costs and any access to the bands or backstage would be taken care of, however, this is still unpaid. But, hundreds of people will see your work and it's a great way to both get noticed and help your local music scene.


We're looking for jounalists, writers, photogaphers, illustrators, people with a sense of humor, ANYONE with a love of live music and some thing to say about it.

No idiots. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to Teesside-Informal-Art Collective's very first post.

We are a 'collection' of 'artists' based in and around Teesside with the general aim of getting together once in a while, socialising, sharing ideas, collaborating on projects/exhibitions and generally being supportive of each other.

Watch-this-space for upcoming ideas, events, and information. :)
